Well this picture of Miley sitting on her special and much older friend Justin Gaston’s lap pulling her eyes so they slant sideways, has lots of people on the internet chatting as to whether or not she was just goofing around or was she mocking Asian people?
The OCA, an Asian American advocacy group, wants Miley and everyone to know that this picture is just another spiteful picture in a long and unfortunate history of people mocking and denigrating individuals of Asian descent.
George Wu, the group’s exec director says:
“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.”
Yes she is only 16 and yes she’s going to make mistakes, but hasn’t she realized by now that she needs to think about making better choices so as to avoid getting such negative publicity… or does she really not give a sh*t about the consequences of her misbehaving antics?
