IGNORANT PEOPLE

Photo from here

I may be a bit late on this post but you know how it is, London is always late and I had to read about this on a US news website. Stupid Miley Cyrus: Plain ignorance shown by her and all her friends above. And the joke is, she doesn't get why this is offensive....ARE YOU DUUUMMMBB!!! She is a foolish girl, after all the commotion that was caused over her semi-naked on the front cover of Vanity Fair, and those other 'saucy' pictures she took of herself (that some how got leaked to the Internet), you would think she would have some sense before risking another indecent photo fiasco. But obviously not, as this has surfaced. People say she is just a 'kid', she is 16! Just because she still works for Disney, it can not be used as an excuse for her stupid behaviour, shes old enough to date so she should have some sense. I really do not understand how her Asian male friend is just sitting there like this is all cool...oh and someone pointed out that he is making "Caucasian eyes" and why is he allowed to get away with it...erm, to me it looks like he just has bags under his eyes and is not intentionally making "Caucasian eyes."

Seeing this picture really angered me because I have not seen this 'hand-stretching-eyes' action for such a long time. Everyone knows it is offensive to Oriental people, as it takes the piss out of a feature that we all possess. It is what differentiates us from others and something we, as Asians should be taught to appreciate from a young age and to never feel ashamed of our 'unique' trait. As a child, being the only Chinese kid in a class of 30 or so obviously meant that I was some what picked on because of my eyes or my race. I am not going to lie, when I was very very young I did feel ashamed to be Oriental, at such a young age all you really want to do is fit in. Of course this is quite common, but you have to remember that you were being picked on by your peers who at the time are only 4 - 7 years old. They eventually (hopefully...) grow and learn, and more often than not, never go back to nit-picking at someones race. Obviously Miley (and co.) skipped a growing process in life as she is still carrying on this way.

Obviously now, at my tender age of 20, I am more happy in my skin, proud of my heritage and see my 'Oriental eyes' as something special rather than it being a flaw like I did many, many years ago. My eyes are not funny, nor is my skin tone and I sure as hell do not know any Oriental people who has buck teeth, the size of a hand, as you, mister in the background, so kindly demonstrate.

Oh and this is a justification of this photo:"this is America- you can do whatever the hell you want with your eyes."

WTF!! I have never read such nonsense in my life! This, along with the other crap that people commented in that article which basically says "Yeah, It is OK to pull this face when I see a Chinese Person." Whatever bitches, try that with me know, and the only hand -to-face action you will be getting is my backhand-to-your-face.

Sorry peoples, I had to get that out my system! On a higher note: 4 days until I depart this cold and wet land of Londoners to visit New York, New York!
