Miley Cyrus was in attendance on Day 3 of the 51st Annual GRAMMY Awards GRAMMY Gift Lounge Saturday and managed to pose for a very curious photo with a bunch of Asian people who were also in attendance at the gift lounge suite at the same time:
I have to say that I find this photo very suspect … not all of you may agree with me but it sure does seem as if Miley wanted to make sure that she was photographed smiling with a group of Asian people to show that she is not racist and doesn’t always engage in mocking behavior. Tho, I wonder why she didn’t think it was appropriate for her to make her “goofy faces” while posing with these particular people. It seems to me that if her behavior is so innocent, then she would have no problem making the same “goofy faces” with these people like she did with her friends in that controversial other photo that came out last week. I am still offended that first, she and her friends would engage in such demeaning behavior and second, that she failed to step up and apologize for that behavior. Again, I personally find this photo very suspect … do you?

i agree with Lynn.she does look like she’s trying to make her eyes pop out of her head in an attempt to make her eyes bigger.
Damn, why did she make goofy faces with her friends? Simple, because she was with HER FRIENDS. People she can get along with, people she share laughter and jokes with. People who can poke fun at each other without being offended.
Why didn’t she make “goofy faces” with this one? Cos these people are not the ones she hangs out regularly with! If she made a “goofy face” here, now THAT would be mocking! I’m Asian, I don’t like Miley Cyrus one bit, but I think it’s time to get over it. The girl is 16. She is a young lady, she is HUMAN. Let her be. And I totally agree with Troy.
who cares if she made some sort of asian face. its not going to affect your life or mine. you people should be ashamed of yourself for being so judgmental.
Oh please. Can we just move on already? This is so not news and I’m so sick of the self-righteous finger wagging.
Hm… racism. Really, I personally did not see why Miley’s pic was so bad. I don’t really like her, but this… yeah. I definitely agree with what others said earlier – this picture was NOT for public release. I too have friends of other ethnicities and I know they wouldn’t mind a pic like this. Why? Because they know it’s not MEANT to be racist. I really really doubt the Asian guy in the original pic looked at the result, started crying and felt all offended. Seriously. I think he probably just laughed about it, because they’re FRIENDS.
My best friend is Asian and yeah, I crack a joke about that from time to time but I get just as much in return for being white and neither of us minds because we know we love each other to death anyway. Racism is not just making offensive comments about other ethnicities, it’s also simply about making a big deal out of skin colour. And that goes both ways. You want the opposite of racism? Don’t try exaggerated political correctness – try tolerance and being laid-back and NOT NOTICING skin colour. Seriously. Making this big a fuss over this issue is just as much racism as Miley’s supposed ‘offence’, because all it is is calling attention to differences again. Stop it.
