Miley Cyrus has yet again shocked her fans. When a very racial photo got leaked to the internet, the OCA (a group dedicated to advancing the social, political, and economic well being of Asian Pacific Americans) were very fast to comment.“A terrible example for her many young fans, by mocking and denigrating individuals of Asian descent.” [1]
With that image floating around all over the net, many parents are taking action towards their children, not letting them watch or purchase anything Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana. This isn’t the first time that her personal images have been leaked, where she shocked her fans worldwide. But for this certain situation, Miley Cyrus was not far along to comment back to the OCA.
After apologizing, and informing that is not in anyway meant to be racist, she also added, “I was simply making a goofy face. When did that become newsworthy? It seems someone is trying to make something out of nothing to me.” [1]
She also believes that if it was anyone else and not her, that this ordeal would be overlooked and forgotten. For once, I actually agree with this teen celebrity.
I am in no way, a fan of Hannah Montana or Miley Cyrus, so it takes me a lot to agree with her. Say it was me or you that took that picture- no one, would take that in an offensive way. The OCA would never bother with it, and you would probably get a lot of comments on Facebook or Myspace on how much fun you’re having.
I think she is being accused unfairly of this situation. But knowing her past, she should have learned to think before she acted. She needs to grow up for the sake of her fans, mature, and try to get back the respect of all the parents around the world that she lost it too.
