LOS ANGELES, CA – Miley Cyrus has been accused of racism against Asians after a controversial photo was published. The Chinese government is not pleased.
The following photo was distributed online, of Cyrus and friends pulling their eyes slanted while sitting next to an unidentified Asian American boy.
Cyrus has yet to comment, but Asian American groups have already called for an apology. And now the Chinese government is also taking a stand.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China has announced the immediate barring of Miley Cyrus from entering the country. The government has also banned any broadcast of her TV show, films, and any sales of merchandise.
The ban is currently indefinite.
Foreign minister Yang Jiechi has stated, “Miss Cyrus has made it clear she is no friend of China or anyone of East Asian descent. We have no interest in further polluting our children’s minds with her American ignorance.”
An anonymous source hinted that Cyrus plans to fly to Beijing to perform for the Premier’s children in hopes of persuading him to lift the ban.
UPDATE: MILEY CYRUS APOLOGIZES, JOINS COMMUNIST PARTY
[…] ‘slant-eyed’ gesture. It didn’t escape the Chinese authorities either, who not only banned her indefinitely from visiting, but also outlawed any products related to her (that includes her TV […]
you jack ass she is only 16 wtf she is a kid…im sure u did worese things at 16 than making funny faces…so unless anyone here is her mom or dad then shut the hell up and get a life ya losers
"disrespect your suroundings" a day to remember
American icon? Ugh… you make me sick.
wtf is your problem ass? that isnt the issue here…some people can be hurt (and im talking about miley NOT asians)
ok it can be hurtful for asians and i feel bad for them..im asian so? her friend is asian so? you would have to be EXTREMELY sensitive to be hurt by this. Moron.
*by the way its Cyrus not Cyris
True. I agree that she is still a kid, and yes, almost everyone has done this sometime in their life. However, she HAS to get used to always being watched, even with her friends. Maybe one of her friend's friend gets a hold of this pic and feels they can profit from it… and this happens. Unfortunately she DOES give up some "child" rights, and she has to keep the "role model" part of her in the front of her mind. I'm sure she realizes why some people may be offended, and I hope those people realize she never did it with the intent to offend anyone, but ignorance doesn't take away accountablility. I don't believe she should be banned by any means, nor should she be railroaded over this. Simply apologize for not realizing the effect it would have and that she didn't think before doing this, and I think all should be good.
Wow, talk about red herring..
Wow, racist much?
This is probably the most stupefied comment i have ever read. Perhaps you should grow up and actually finish up that freshman year of high school. Yeah?
I'm pretty sure if they followed your infantile advice to ban all products from China, you yourself would not be having any of your flashy electronics that you use day-to-day, much less anything else that facilitates you everyday. China is the top importer for the US, about 20%
Look around, about 70% of everything in your household is manufactured or has parts from China. You're arrogant and ignorant of what goes around you. You probably could NOT survive a day without it.
I hope whatever you ingest or eat is tainted with arsenic (from China you'd most likely suggest); because the world needs less people like you.
… now that, is racist.
O please. Americans were the ones exploiting the Chinese people with making cheap products and then selling it at 150% over market price. For the record your a moron and get your facts straight.
you r so racist and ignorant, WHO WOULD GIVE YOU CHINESE FOOD IF THEY WERENT HEERE?HAHAH OR GIVE U SILK UNDIES??!!?!?
you go to hell usa! how dare you say that to one of our asian countries. truth is, they've got more f****ing culture dan u ever had!
ARE YOU AN IDIOT! do you want more than half our supplies gone! where do you think we are going to get our supplies from, Kentucky! (no offense, but I've never scene a product made there)
WOW UR RETARDED!IF CHINA DIDNT GAVE U ALL THOSE STUFF WHERE WOULD U BE?!LIVING ON THE STREETS LIKE A HOBO PROBALY THAT HAS TO BE D MOST RETARDED OF A QUESTION EVRRRR!
that's a horrible example. all murderers murder? the example was everyone and everyone doesn't murder.
anyway, i wouldn't say that it is the right thing to do, but im sure she didn't mean for it to be something offensive. in my opinion intent counts for a lot and i doubt she intended to make fun of an entire race with this picture. it's pretty ridiculous to think so. im pretty sure everyone has done something that could singled out like this and shown to the world that would make that person appear to be a racist. simple enough it's out of context and one moment in time. no one really knows except for miley.
just asian girls get their eyes fixed to look white, not the guys.
I'm kind of a pinkish/olive blend, and even *I*'ve done that. Heck, I learned it from an Indian (as in India, as in Asia) boy in first grade.
lol Of course they aren't going to ban her. Her crap is sold at Walmart which translates to *Made in China*. They ban the selling of her "merchandise" to billions of little girls in China and they would be the ones losing money. I wish they would ban the manufacturing of her products so I don't have to see something with her on it every time I turn around.
ya she is a hot asian but it was racise
yeah i don't see why the government would care about this sad adolescent teenager that's pulling her eyes to the side lol if anything she's disadvantaging herself when she's older and she gets funny wrinkles. lol the chinese government have better things to worry about XD
guys do it too
you're an idiot
asians don't do it to look white!
blacks, hispanics, and almost all other races have double eyeslids except for few far eastern asians
it's just because it looks prettier.
if asians fix their eyes to "look white," then whites, blacks, and all others are copying asians because they straighten their hair!
yeah, that's what sad…we need to stop that b.s.
yeah, that's what sad…we need to stop that b.s.
yes im doing it right now..and no one can stop me muhahaaaaahaha
I wouldn't necessarily say that we're making fun. I, for one, merely wondered what I might look like if I were Asian. Photoshop was still years away, and even now I can't use more than the basic functions.
I would have taken offense if this was something serious, but it's PRETTY OBVIOUS she's joking. who the **** would ban her for? i mean, even if she's a slut and a very bad role model?
im glad she's banned as well. No person should do this, regardless. This just shows people how rude it is, and no Asian should take this. I'm Asian as well. Im offended that she thinks she can just make fun and act in a racist way like that, even if she herself isnt racist.
Look Zipperhead
so she has mind doesnt she you should know this because you were 16 once. but on the other hand miley cyrus knew that if she posted that picture she would get in trouble by china and miley cyrus is a bad example for the kids minds! i'm glad her tv show is getting canceled.
Yea I smoked marijuana when I was 16…. OH!!!! SO DID MICHEAL PHELPS!!! point being…everyone does stupid shit, just the people who have a spot light are the only ones who get criticized. so I say GO MILEY!!!! As for china…eh… according to what I've heard on the news in the last few months they've been trying to kill everyone with their faulty products anyways besides, if we wanted them to lift the an they totally would cause lets face it, china probably couldn't survive without the US
Whatch your lang she dosn't look at herself as a child i'm sure It was still racist and she made the decision
you make no sense.
i wish i looked more asian… damn my half breed status!
that also came to mind lol there could be more things to be offend by than this, they arnt drinking and driving, smoking anything or being sexual. things thatshould be more of an outrage than this such as all the DUI's that Paris has gtten, when will that stop? Oh and guess what this is the U.S.A you can be offeneded its ok, I am offened daily but I am not acting out on it. lets just pray on it lol
exactly lol!
ITS BC ASIANS CANT DRIVE
Hey! I'm white and i have straight hair!!!
im white and i have naturally straight hair!
not all white people straighten their hair
and they dont do it to look asian , they do it because its the fashion!
im not asian and yet i find this picture offensive but shes just having a bit of harmless fun, i dislike her but i wont HATE her untill i sea her say ''im racist and i hate asian people!''
I'm glad she got what she deserves
ur totally rite. i mean its not like michael phelps got in trouble for it.
in case u couldnt tell thats sarcasm
i don't think so…america just like the rest of the world are now dependent on china'a manpower.that's world domination!!!
if u smoked marijuana anytime, its seriouslly illegal.imean, come on, its an illegal drug. my dad is a dog cop, and if he found out, you could get into serious legal trouble, you ass.
nd for u nd everyone that says that shes only 16 nd crap like that, thats also saying that a 16-year old could kill someone, steal, nd run someone over with a car on purpse. then he go to court nd his parents would be like "well hes only 16" nd he would totally win the case! bc the judge would be like "well… since hes only 16, its ok." (<- more sarcasm)
dumbasses
I think you just supported his argument! you guys are funny
That's no reason to do that still, even if she didn't offend her friend, she still insulted all Asians.
Yes she was, don't talk about things you don't understand
Too bad making a face is normal for 16yr olds unlike homicide, vehicular manslaughter and theft…
So? Who cares if he insulted asians? It's not like Hannah Montana is a hit show in China. They have there own anime junk and its not like asians never did anything against white people.
I'm asian and I'm offended by this, do you let racist asian terms slide off your back as well? Pictures are worth a thousand words
Well put,. Case in point is ear rings. When i was a youth it was rumored that if a male pierced his right ear he was a homosexual. Now days i see straight males piercing both ears.
Now on to all you MC haters. Unless MC came out and directly said "I hate Asians and they look funny" then your just blowing hot air and feeding racial tensions. Get over yourselves already. BTW, I'm not a fan of hers, nor are my children.
I find it hilarious that the true haters come out of the woodwork over something as simple as a young girl doing nothing more than making funny faces at the camera. If you are Asian and were offended then i think you are a racist to begin with and were looking for the smallest reason to prove your reasoning for your deep seeded racism. Had there had been no Asian in the picture beside her I doubt this picture ever would have seen the light of day and would have been chalked up as a teenager hamming it up for the cameras.
That being said, were you offended when President Bush flipped off the american people? (http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/bushvideos/v/b… I dont see the people all up in arms about that.
Take your hatred elsewhere losers
Its a misdemeanor where i live and most cops write you a ticket if they do anything about it at all. Its a $100 dollar fine (twice the price of the bag of weed they confiscated usually) and its not that serious of a crime. matter of fact, in some states its not even a crime if you have a medical card. Whos the ass now?
Go read up on the law little girl. maybe you should stop listening to the teachers at school that try to brainwash you, and the Socialist propaganda your daddy has been shoving down your neck.
Stupid ass mo'focker.
Why don't come where i live at and yell that out loud ?
Everyone here would beat yo ass for saaying that, so you needa watch what's coming out of your mouth.
TO HELL WITH YOU!
lemme guess, you black too. i know cuz im black lol.
Just because everyone's done it doesn't make it okay. She acted completely racist, no matter what her intentions. She needs to think about how her actions are going to affect other people, especially because she considers herself to be a so-called role model.
FUCK U AMERICANS!!!!!!!! oh this is ridculesFUCK ALL U AMRICANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she souldnt have done it in the first place geeze just because she is good at acting and singing dosent mean she can get away with everything god
Urgh not manpower, slave labour thanks to the psychopathic slave traders of the Chinese establishment.
Honestly, "let it slide off your back" is the single most effective way of dealing with ANYTHING that you dislike on an individual basis. Because people have short attention spans, and if you don't react, they'll move on to something else. Proof? Next time you're at a party, count how many times you hear conversations about the sofa, and see how long they run.
Anyway, don't you think that it's awfully narcissistic to assume that these kids must have been trying to make fun of Asians? These are kids at a party; if they had anything more nefarious on their little minds than some spur-of-the-moment fun, then I'm the anti-governor of California. No sense in getting outraged when there isn't any malice.
You can be born with intelligence, but wisdom must be developed. And we're talking about wisdom here.
When was the last time YOU worried about what the Chinese would think about what you did at a party? It's not exactly natural; most famous people hire less famous people to ensure that they don't have to worry about this stuff.
I think I missed the part that was related to teachers. And I thought that banning drugs was what conservatives did? Last I checked, Conservatives and Socialists were kinda… you know…. opposites.
Odds are good that she wasn't actually thinking of anything at the time of the photo. It's not very common for a roomful of high schoolers to sit around and think of exciting new ways to be racist.
You just need to stick in the appropriate punctuation; I believe they call this "stream of consciousness." At least it's all coherent.
it's people like you who further expand racism. actually, it's people like you who sometimes cause the "blacks you don't like" to kill.
and of course–Asians are awesomesauce =]
like it's really miley cyrus
he may be over reacting but it seems that this isnt miley cyrus' first scandal, so i can understand what the government is thinking. she little kids role model but it seems shes becoming a bad influence. and i guess the government doesnt want the chinese kids following her actions.
