Not Your Best Idea Ever, Miley

Eye-slanting not a good 'example' from Disney star

Share

(Newser) – Miley Cyrus’ latest less-than-wholesome stunt? Slanting her eyes in a party pic that's been slammed by an Asian-American group, TMZ reports. “The photograph of Miley Cyrus and other individuals slanting their eyes is offensive to the Asian Pacific American community and sets a terrible example for her many young fans,” said the OCA. How very un-Hannah Montana.

Not only has Miley Cyrus encouraged and legitimized the taunting and mocking of people of Asian descent, she has also insulted her many Asian Pacific American fans. - George Wu, executive director of the OCA

Oh for gawd sakes... she's a kid playing kid stuff... in PRIVATE! I'd be afraid to fart if I was famous! Just imagine what people would say! No doubt it would make headlines. Private should be private. Those of you who are showing such negativity ought to have a moment or two of YOUR private comments or actions posted for all to see... Reply

i just took a moment, actually two moments as you suggested, and i don't remember slanting my eyes or putting on blackface for a picture. and as for a kid playing kid stuff, how many kids are hanging out with all adults and sitting on their twenty year old bf's lap? she is owned by the disney channel solely for her wholesome image, if she loses that then she's no good to anyone. and how is she going to be supporting billy ray when the calls stop coming in and the contracts are torn up?
