Miley Cyrus Racist? Sure no one, including Miley Cyrus herself, does not want her to be a racist. Unfortunately, the Hannah Montana teen sensation is accused of racism after a photo showing her supposedly mocking Asian American by slanting her eyes surfaced online.
In the picture (see above), Mylie Cyrus, sitting on the knees of boyfriend Justin Gaston, strentched her eyelids, amid a group of friends including a Asian-faced guy. The pic is ok for me, because I think Miley Cyrus was just a bit naughty and wanna have some ridiculous poses for a photoshoot.
But apparently, the OCA — an Asian-right group “dedicated to advancing the social, political and economic well-being of Asian Pacific Americans”, did not think so. They alleged Miley Cyrus of showing racism against Asian Americans and demand the 16-year-old’s apology. Read excerpts of OCA excutive director George Wu’ statement to TMZ:
”The photograph of Miley Cyrus and other individuals slanting their eyes currently circulating the Internet is offensive to the Asian Pacific American community and sets a terrible example for her many young fans. This image falls within a long and unfortunate history of people mocking and denigrating individuals of Asian descent.
Not only has Miley Cyrus and the other individuals in the photograph encouraged and legitimized the taunting and mocking of people of Asian descent, she has also insulted her many Asian Pacific American fans. The inclusion of an Asian Pacific American individual in the photo does not make it acceptable.
OCA hopes that Miley Cyrus will apologize to her fans and the APA community for this lapse in judgment and takes the opportunity to better understand why the gesture is offensive.”
I don’t like Miley Cyrus,but I don’t think it’s too offensive,as she’s in a group of people that’s doing the same thing. Of course,that’s not an explanation that excuses from racist behavior,I just mean that it was just a group of friends having fun,not mocking asians.
ok seriously guys you are frikkin retarded…why would u go and sue a 16 yr old kid for “being racist” clearly her friend isnt offended so why should you be…we all know the reason its because nobody really likes her and she constantly gets the wrath of haters, well i dont like her but clearly thats going a little over board ya think
So, if Miley Cyrus had blackface on, would she and the rest of her supporters merely pass that off as a “goofy face”? Give me a break. People seem to hold different standards when it comes to Asians. The fact of the matter is that what Miley Cyrus did was racist and indefensible. Period.
who here tht is asian or of that decent and finds that offensive
Its not being racist, Its just being stereotypical. Trust me my sister shes chinese and she has huge eyes, Miley cyrus eyes would look like “Asian” if she was next to my sister. Anyways I always thought miley cyrus was a b_ ever since i saw her mocking selena in her video.
man ya cant do anything these days without some insecure people getting sooooo offended and calling you a RACIST. it is so pathetic that people can’t take a joke….hahaha…..because i get CHINK EYED like every single day after i pick up a pack of GORILLA MINTS (Newport Shorts in a box for all you dummies) and a couple of bluntz. it is so easy for a person or group to sling out the word racist and then watch some Harold and Kumar or Friday w/ Ice Cube. you people are stupid and cannot take a joke because you are insecure. oh no he said the “N-Word”….
…NICKA WHUT?!!!!
no worries miley did nothing wrong in this photo, society is stupid that’s all
LOL but everyone does that atleast twice in their life time, so this is NOT RACIST
everyone does it, but I guess because she’s a celebrity she has to have boundries
but again EVERYONE DOES THE SLANT EYE THING and I’m asian and I really don’t care because it’s nothing…see this is what’s wrong with society these days everyone gets offended so easily and over stupid things like this and that’s why we’re not making any progress–shameful shameful people
im offended by this photo and im a japanese girl currently living in the states.
I have small *checks in mirror* kinda huge-ish, but still its kinda offending that she HAD 2 do such a thing…
i dislike miley and i do not accept what she is doing nowadays.
not all asians have small eyes, and yes thats true.
OMG THAT ASIAN GUY (not to be racist) LOOKS LIKE MY CRUSH WHEN HE’S GROWN UP! :O LOL
so ya, she should apologize.
even asians hates miley she is a********************** she is the wost human in this entire world
I don’t have any problems with gay people but is just the way we express about thing’s that are too sweet or too girly, so I apologize in advance if I offended anyone.
First of all, I’m really sorry to see that there is still some people that think they’re superior just because they are white, if you people pay close attention, we all have the same amount of internal organs inside of us, besides if you all read a little bit, look for any science book that explains how humans adapt to the environment’s they live in, so wow there are black, Chinese and white people all around the globe, great discovery you got yourself a Nobel price!!!!
Second of all, I’m from Latin America, I have seen that superior attitude from people mostly from the U.S., and I’m making a special remark because I have European friends that think that the people from the United states of America behave like they are the coolest thing ever and they are just (I wont repeat what they told me but is not really good) not that cool and I don’t like to generalize since I now that just because there is a bunch of racist red neck’s that talk rubbish in the U.S, doesn’t mean that everybody is the same, things like this happens in all the country’s of the world, sadly the U.S. is always on the spot…
and third, I love Asian’s, their culture, their mysticism and their look’s and technology, so I don’t see a good reason why anyone should make fun of a very beautiful feature of their face, that make’s them special, different from all the races of the world, including mine, I love my culture and my country but I absolutely adore Asian people, what Miley Cyrus did is just lack of maturity and culture… besides she thinks she is a rock star, but in reality she is just a wannabe Punk Rocker, her music is just lame and gay so, what could we expect from someone like that?? think about it people.
And I apologize about my horrible orthography and grammar, I’m not native English speaking person so I’m still learning… sayōnara desu!
@bailey-
i totally agree with you on everything except for the part about koreans having bigger eyes than other asians, which is just wrong (and you clearly have not been getting around much, no offense). All of my Chinese friends have big eyes and my Japanese friend’s eyes are freaking HUGE (in a pretty way of course).
By the way, if this happened in Canada she wouldn’t just have been sued, that’s small stuff. There’d be no party in the USA for her, there are just THAT many asians here…and I’m talking angry asians
Seriously, she should learn from the example of that Dior model who said some pretty negative stuff about Beijing. Chinese all over the world boycotted Dior products and declared they wouldn’t buy anymore Dior until she officially apologized. I’m not sure if she did, but I DO know that she got fired…which I must agree is pretty extreme. So yeahm I’m surprised Miley Cyrus is still in the business.
I would have thought it was just a joke if she didn’t sue the OCA back later. Also eventhough it is a joke if it hurt other people’s feelings it isn’t a joke. I’m Aisan but I didn’t get my feelings hurt until I knew that she sewed the OCA back, so Miley worsened her problem.
Miley is seriously the worst role model in the world! Who does this? It is completely racist. I am not of Asian descent, but I can just imagine how this would be offensive. She seriously needs to go away. What has happened to Disney? Miley, Vanessea, all these scandals! I am just completely disgusted with these girls who are role models to young children! I agree, we should boycott Disney! Miley sucks. She has no talent. She is annoying. She is a slut. And she is a terrible role model. I cannot wait until she goes away!
&&everyone that says its ohkayy yuu some hoes too so dont say s*t if yuu like her ohkayy cause it aint right.
ohkayy i never liked miley cyrus cause shes just a BCH in a wig who needs too GROW tHEE what i think&&any boy too date her has got too be blind cause one shes needs to get surgery&&get them teeth fixed not only that shes a fake&&she needs to stop acting like shes a goody goody when she knows damn well she aint even selena gomez is better ((:
so thats how it is wEll this is what i say YUU MILEY CYRUS
Miley is not a skank she is cool 2 me…she was just having fun!! Everyone make fun of a person every once in a while and she was just having fun…she did not mean it to offend someone she wuz just kidding around..and she is not a mean person…
Lighten up peeps. You have NO IDEA the context of this photo. So righten up. Otay?
MILEY I HATE YOU.
THE WORLD HATES YOU.
[expletive].
ohkay, im korean, but my eyes dont look like that.
my eyes are even bigger than some white people, im serious.
koreans are known for having ‘bigger’ eyes than other asians. just saying.
this does make me sad, but whatever. screw it. screw her!
miley is dumb, and ive never liked her from the start when she first wore that hideous wig on tv. she just wants attention, shes a skank.
you guys, asians rule and they are beautiful.
[unlike freaken mil-idiot destiny-dope cyrus.]
love ya too, miley.
It’s funny how alot of caucasians think the asian guy is making his eyes wide. Im asian and my eyes look just like his in this photo.
Anyway Miley Cyrus is a confirmed slut.
Erhm I mean Racist Slut.
OMG Boycott DISNEY, Boycott Mylie Cyrus, and SUE everybody… I am so offended by this… Sue Disney SUE S+DISNEY
Agree with Ditya, “don’t be over sensitive…”, Miley Cyrus has apologized twice, but unluckily, she was sued for $4 billion. Isn’t you guys think this is too cruel to Cyrus?
That dude next to Miley sure looks like asian-american. I’m asian but I don’t find the photo offensive. More like they are just imitating thier friend’s eyes (that guy next to Miley). And thier friend (the asian dude) is trying to make his eyes bigger too. I think they’re just having fun playing opposites. Surely, Miley won’t sue that asian guy for trying to make his eyes bigger too? C’mon asians, don’t be over sensitive….
Is the dark skinned dude next to her asian?
for me is just fine! She is the best!!!!!!!!
haha i completely agree wit Cygwin
She is racist don’t buy her album, boycott miley cyrus, boycott disney
