Miley Cyrus, honestly? She’s such a bitch! I don’t know why in the first place she got so famous, her singing sucks and so is her acting. I hope she dies in a hole But who cares about this photo as karma will come around and smack her in the face!

All the people saying that it’s cool, and that people are blowing this out of proportion…grow up. Unless you were in our shoes, and an asian, you wouldn’t understand how offensive it is to be insulted because of a stereotype like that. I remember getting lunch from my mom in elementary school and having a caucasian kid run up to both of us screaming rubbish and making the slanted eyes gesture. Such a gesture is extremely hurtful, and most of you wouldn’t know because you aren’t in our shoes.

“why is this offensive? I’m white, white people are made fun of all the time, I don’t get mad. My eyes are kind’ve slanted should I get mad? Just grow up”

It doesn’t affect you because you’re (hopefully) an adult, but I guess we’ll see how your kids enjoy the cultural shift. The president’s half black, every other newscaster is a minority, Wall Street’s becoming more mixed everyday and your kids love hip hop. Soon you’ll be the minority, bitches

Can you imagine what would have happened if she had made herself look like she had a big nose and hairy. Jews would have been up in arms.

Every likes to tell people to lighten up until they themselves are made fun of.

LOL. xD

I agree what she did was stupid and insensitive, but hey, it’s Miley Cyrus what do you expect?

And I know she’s 16, but I’m 14 and I never make fun of other cultures like that. She should know better seriously.

I agree that it might have just been a joking around kind of thing with close friends, however, it doesn’t seem like the token Asian guy is “that” comfortable with them doing that. He was probably just like, “ok guys…that’s not kool, but I’m just not going to say anything because I’m outnumbered…” It is unfortunate for Miley this picture has leaked out, but now that it has, it IS a big deal. WHY? Because to me, it brought me back to 5th grade when this white guy made the same slanted eyes face at me and I didn’t understand why until years later. I didn’t understand what’s the big deal about my eyes that he had to draw attention to it, as if I could do anything about my small eyes. This is just me, this is who I am, so what of it? This happened to me when I was in elementary school, but it had a profound effect on my view of the world and how it functioned. I can forgive that guy, we were very young. But, these people in the picture are not that young. I believe that once you reach a certain age, you suffer consequences for your actions AND after a certain age, your actions are no longer just seen as child’s play, but rather, signs of discrimination. I do wish that we can confront ALL those people in the picture. ALL of them were very rude & very offensive. For those of you who cannot see that this is offensive, perhaps you are the lucky few who have never experienced racism or you are part of the white privileged class & just can’t see it.

“But I don’t get why this is racist especially because theres an asian dude right next to her”

ever heard the phrase “my best friend’s black…”? Using that context, it’s OK to chant monkey noises if you’re sitting next to a black guy.

Miley’s response: ““In NO way was I making fun of any ethnicity! I was simply making a goofy face”

What, by pulling back your eyes like, as history has shown, many whites have done when roleplaying as Asians in a condescending manner?

Whatever. I have 3 daughters (all half chinese), a couple were big Hannah Montana fans before this, all I had to do was show them the picture and they understood.

On the plus side, their rooms look a lot tidier as a result.

They look pretty messed up in this picture, they look pretty stupid too. But I don’t get why this is racist especially because theres an asian dude right next to her. Pretty dumb to call this racist. I look like that all the time and I’m not asian my eyes are just slanted does that mean they’re teasing me too. I’m going to file a lawsuit against her too. I can right, why not the Asian people are doing it. See how stupid that sounds.
