Miley Cyrus and Co posed for a picture where they appear to be mocking Asian People by slanting their eyes.
The OAC released this statement about the picture.
"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, said George Wu,
executive director of OCA. 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."
She's screwed up in the past and she'll screw up even more in the future once alcohol becomes a part of the weekend parties (if it already hasn't it's coming soon) so there's not much to say other than she's young and ignorant.
Though I will say that these tween tars should try not to piss of Asia. They can keep your career going long after North America is booking you on Where Are They Now? shows.
