Comments on: Miley Cyrus Tries To Do Some Damage Control http://www.pinkisthenewblog.com/2009/02/miley-cyrus-tries-to-do-some-damage-control/ Sun, 22 Nov 2009 15:42:10 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Astrid http://www.pinkisthenewblog.com/2009/02/miley-cyrus-tries-to-do-some-damage-control/comment-page-2/#comment-195423 Astrid Wed, 11 Feb 2009 11:48:30 +0000 http://pinkisthenewblog.com/home/?p=21643#comment-195423 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. . (Sorry for the long comment, I just felt I needed to say this.) Hm… racism. Really, I personally did not see why Miley’s pic was so bad. I don’t really like her, but this… yeah.

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.

I had a Vietnamese friend in high school and I used to call him gook and he would make fun of me being a fat white guy. If someone recorded me saying that and put it on the internet out of context people would say I was a racist. But things go on between friends. They bust each others balls and it's no big deal. That picture wasn't intended for the public. If there is any scandal here it's that people are violating the privacy of a 16 year old girl. I'm so sick of this political correctness BS.

Now she can't take pictures with Asians? She has Asian friends! Man people need to chill....just because your life isn't what you want it to be doesn't give you the right to go around picking on a 16 year old girl. She was having fun with her friends....like no one here ever made goofy pictures. Give me a break. Anyone who takes offense to this is really sad. Pathetic actually. Another pathetic article.

Obviously an uncomfortable, guilty, moment for her. Not as natural as her "goofy face" photo with her friends, huh? Very suspect, Trent. her face is sooooo funny in that photo.

She's not famous because of talent, etiquette or sensitivity. She's famous because she has been Disney Marketed with Disney Dollars. C'mon people, get real - there's no story here. The story merely serves to prolong her already spent 15 minutes of fame... OK, So here’s this 16 year old Disney and Daddy manufactured money making machine.
