Hey, check this out.

If what Miley and her bozo friends was no big deal, how come the president of Clemson Collage is all outraged about this party with White students “celebrating” MLK Day by appearing in blackface? What’s the difference. African Americans do have dark skin, don’t they ?

@Joe: Well said, in my opinion. If blackface & minstrel shows were painfully offensive, then where’s the solidarity for the Asian community, ESPECIALLY from African-Americans? Yeah, I went there.

I hope that Ms. Kim’s lawsuit goes through and that she wins. The only thing these spoiled celebrities understand is when it hits them in the pocketbook, or embarasses them in the media. Apologies are pretty meaningless when they’re probably written by her agent, anyway.

As for all of you making excuses for Miley, you have no clue of how offensive is that gesture to Asian Americans. You are in no position to pass judgement what’s harmless or not, unless you have grown up in an environment where random strangers come up to mock you simply because of your appearance. I’ve lived in this country for over 50 years, and have encountered this more times than I can remember, the first time when I was 8 and couldn’t even understand why. When is this kind of behavior ever going to end?

There are those who’ve said that we Asian Americans just have to “suck it up” and just accept it. Accept what ? That a lot of white Americans are just racist? That they make hurtful gestures, but it’s all just harmless fun. Yeah, just like 60 years ago whites used to put on blackface and do minstrel shows. Just harmless fun, right? Even if you think this is just much ado about nothing, it’s really really stupid. The US right now owes about 5 trillion dollars to people who you think it’s fine to mock. How do you think these pictures are going to play in China, Japan, Korea, etc. Shouldn’t you be a little more respectful to people to whom you owe so much money? Welcome to the 21st Century, gang.

Oh, this doesn’t look good for Disney, does it? Hmmm…weren’t the Cyrus Klan trying to get out of their contract with Disney?
Have a great look at the offending pic. She’s the youngest one there. There’s booze in that pic. The Asian guy looks uncomfortable and like a deer in the headlights.
This is an important lesson for society – we don’t do that kinda stuff no mo’ cuz it offenz peeple.
I truly dislike this little dweeb but I so love that dress she’s wearing.
4 Billion? She’s not worth that much, is she?
Hilarious. I hope Ms. Kim WINS.

It’s squeaky wheel hysterics like this woman who do a disservice to everyone who experiences “real” racism (institutional discrimination, assault, property damage etc.) and anyone trying to fight it.

Funny, I said the same thing (not in so many words) and everyone looked at me like I was daft.

Again, I think that the person who brought suit is aware that this is an exorbitant amount.

I think that unfortunately, in this day and age, it needs to be something big for people to even bother to take notice. If it were for $1 Million, it kind of makes my worth seem like…less than a dollar?

Not that you can put a dollar amount on a person, but I think it’s to show that the Asian Pacfic Islander-American Community IS an ostracized minority group, just like African-Americans or Latinos or anything else (I truly hate the “clumping” but for arguments sake we will move along from that.)

I mean, do you guys know that the ESSENTIAL holding of Korematsu v. United States (for the ill-educated that would the Japanese internment camp case in the 40s) was still holds? The essential holding being: that a race-based exclusion program founded on considerations of military judgment did not violate the Constitution.

And only 40 years after the fact did Mr. Korematsu get his conviction overturned? FORTY YEARS.

As Justice Murphy said in his famous dissent:

“Racial discrimination in any form and in any degree has no justifiable part whatever in our democratic way of life.”

IN ANY DEGREE.
