Ooops! Miley Cyrus has once again been snapped in a very embarassing position. A possibly racist one, at that.
Off the back of that Vanity Fair photoshoot and stolen pics from her mobile phone, Miley allegedly appears in a group shot with current boyfriend Justin Gaston holding her eyelids back in such a way to mock Asians.
Miley's Response To The Photo Scandal:
"I've also been told there are some people upset about some pictures taken of me with friends making goofy faces! Well, I'm sorry if those people looked at those pics and took them wrong and out of context!" Cyrus says on her official Web site. "In NO way was I making fun of any ethnicity!"
Miley's companions also strike similar poses to those made by young Asian girls. A male of Asian appearance is seated next to Miley.

Who cares - everyone has done it at some point...
Hell, I used to want those eyes... Not because I wanted those, eyes, because I was curious what I'd look like.
She's young, and probably dumb. Leave her alone!

I don't think the media know the definition of racism.
What Miley did wasn't remotely racist, it was just disrepectful.

Who cares?
Its racist to insist that shes making that face to insult asian people.
People should just get over it, shes 16, everyone makes mistakes, im sure she wont do it again after all this fuss! and if she does, well just make a bigger fuss!
