58. I FOUND MILEY CYRUS' ACTIONS RACIALLY OFFENSIVE TO EAST ASIANS.
Edited on Wed Feb-18-09 04:53 PM by vaberella
I don't mean to shout but to draw attention to my clarification.

I find her mocking and humiliating East Asians alongside her little friends and this does include the lone East Asian guy in the picture who doesn't give her a pass like TYT believes he does.

That being said. I make this statement because I actually thought I expressed my problem with the picture in my original post. But it was brought to my attention that I did not say what the problem directly was in my post. I thought it was clear or the videos attached might have laid claim. But my outrage with her is due to the "slanted-eye" thing she was doing in the picture which for years has been used as a way to marginalize, stereotype, humiliate and insult East Asians for decades if not centuries. Some may say she was just a stupid 16 year-old but I found it worse than that.

Hopefully this post clarifies where I stand better than my OP which, to my own fault, did not explain my position as clearly as I would have liked and that is my fault for not being more clear.
