Fame comes with a price, this is very true in the case of Miley Cyrus who is in the news for all the wrong reasons. She and her friends who slanted their eyes while posing for a photo have been accused by the Asian pacific American community of mocking at Asians. An Asian is also present in the picture and is not participating in the group pose. Strong criticisms have been directed towards Miley Cyrus by the OCA, a group established for the cause of promoting the social, political and economic well being of Asian Pacific Americans. The group is quoted to have said that Miley is setting “a terrible example for her many young fans” by “mocking and denigrating individuals of Asian descent.”…
While quickly issuing an apology, she defends herself, “I’ve also been told there are some people upset about some pictures taken of me with friends making goofy faces! Well, Im sorry if those people looked at those pics and took them wrong and out of context!
In NO way was I making fun of any ethnicity! 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. If that would of been anyone else, it would of been overlooked! I definitely feel like the press is trying to make me out as the new ‘BAD GIRL’!”
I feel like now that Britney is back on top of her game again, they need someone to pick on! Lucky me! haha Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know what is on my heart. You guys know me and have been by my side every step of the way!
You guys know my heart and know the most important things to me are my friends, family, fans, and GOD! In NO WAY do I want to disappoint any of you! But, when I have made mistakes in the past, I feel like Ive owned up to them and apologized.
Anyway, I really wish everyone would stop focusing on my personal life and get back to focusing on what I love! Music and Acting! Hopefully, I will be touring again this fall! Yayy! It will be a nice change to be back out on the road again!”

When I came upon the pic, I found it all perfectly normal, Miley seemed to be mucking about with her friends which all of us would be doing now and then. This is all in bad taste and so politically incorrect. The media is simply picking on her.
