This photo shows Miley Cyrus and a group of friends pulling back the corners of their eyes to mock the slanted eyes of people of Asian descent.The OCA, an Asian-American advocacy group, issued a statement saying, “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.”
This is what I think as a fellow Asian-American...."Who Cares?" Come on! There is an Asian-American in this photo! And if you read into this, the Asian-American can be accused of "widening his eyes". "Is anyone attacking him for being a racist against Caucasians?"
