she’s just being miley.

Who is hungry for some ro mein? Mirey Cyrus is!

All the rage in Hollywood nowadays (short of Jessica Simpson’s weigh gain) is the photo above, featuring Miley Cyrus, that randomly appeared on the internet. She and a group of her friends are seen making “goofy faces” as she called them in her (borderline ridiculous) apology on her blog. Goofy faces, like all Asians have? Nice one, Miley.

But in my humble opinion, the blatantly racial undertones of the photo aren’t even the worst part. Anyone could argue that they aren’t racist against Asians because they -like- totally have an Asian friend! It’s the same bullshit line white people use when they are caught locking their car doors in predominantly black areas. “Well, I have black friends!” No matter which way you slice it, my friend, Patrick Smith, computer programmer, while a baby daddy, does not count as legitimate evidence of my tolerance!

Your one black friend does not make you Civil McRighterson. My dear friend, Patrick, is second from the right. In case you didn't know.

Additionally, Miley is 16 right? And that mopped-topped cat on the far right has a glass of wine in his hand. One of two things is happening: He is drinking underage, or he is WAY too old to be hanging out with Miley Cyrus. Either way, Billy Ray needs to be notified.

The ironic part to me is that all the pasty white folk in the picture are making “Asian” faces and the one dude who actually is Asian (without the air-quotes) is actually making some weirdly concerted effort to make his eyes LESS squinty and Asian looking.

On the (highly unlikely) contrary, maybe we are underestimating these kids. Maybe these astute youngsters are really playing the joke on us daft, politically correct old squares. Maybe they are the ones making the clever social statement regarding the condition of this superficial world that bases people’s worth on their outward appearances and not the content of their character. Are Miley and her friends the next generation of human rights revolutionaries that will shape the world we live in for generations to come?

…Or are they a room full of drunk, rich, spoiled pricks that have no idea about the consequences of real life who are financing their outrageous lives with the pathetic insecurities and irrational obsessions of impressionable children?

Yeah. I’d put my money on the latter.
