Miley Cyrus is being sued in a class-action lawsuit, over the ‘racist’ pic of her from last week [Website – Amy Grindhouse].
*sigh* Just so we are clear, I am as sick of writing about this retarded bundle of fuckery as you all are of reading about it… but this is some Grade A ‘crazy ass’ we got ourselves here today and I’d be failing as an Editor if I didn’t inflict this kind of story on you…
Someone with a LOT of time on their hands has taken it upon themselves to be quite wholly offended on behalf of just about every American person of Asian descent and all Non-US Asian people. You’ll remember over the last week and a bit there has been a storm of debates going back and forth over whether the Miley Cyrus ‘racist’ picture was actually racist at all. Some said she was just being a thoughtless tween who needs potty training before anyone should even think about publicly hanging her for such an innocent indiscretion. Others thought that she was making a face which, malicious or no, looked as though it was mocking an Asian compatriot who sat near and looked shocked.
I think neither. I think Cyrus should have a reverse Katie-bot ‘Camera Whore’ chip installed. Where Katie-bot Holmes’ chip attracts all cameras within a 20-block radius (thus enabling her to whore out herself and her baby to all and sundry within close proximity), Cyrus’ chip should repel any and all cameras within 20 miles in order to stop her getting caught in these funky, efftarded situations where she is caught side-boobing, posing in her bikini and more.
In the latest development in the Cyrus ‘racist’ photo story, it seems that Cyrus’ apology is too weak ass for at least one woman, Lucie J. Kim, who has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of over a million Asian Pacific Islanders in LA County, claiming civil right violations for each. She want $4 billion in damages… Yes, you read that right.
According to TMZ, “Lucie J. Kim claims to represent more than 1 million Asian Pacific Islanders who live in L.A. County. Kim claims when Cyrus posed for the photo, she “knew or should have known that her image would be publicly disseminated via the media, which Cyrus knew focused on her private life, specifically TMZ.”
Kim says in the suit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, that each Asian Pacific Islander is entitled to the minimum damages for a civil rights violation — $4,000. Add it up — $4 billion.
No word yet on whether she will actually share or how precisely Asian people are supposed to go about claiming their 4k.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS LAWSUIT – FRIVILOUS OR FAIR?

She doesn’t have $4 billion dollars and she apologized. These Asians need to get the eff over themselves. I rather have her lose her career than get paid a couple grand. What dumbfucks!
The outcome of this case will be interesting… we shall see…
Gee, I can sue everyone on myspace that has a pic of them making fun of someone. I’m going to be RICH!
Hi Maria – welcome to the community and thanks for leaving a comment. Let us know how much you make
Someone is hoping for a quick few bucks in an out of court settlement. Dang if I sued every time someone made fun of my Brit accent I’d be living in the court!
ridiculously stupid. $4 billion? who’s suing her anyway?
[...] Miley Cyrus sued for $4 billion by racist Asians. (AG) [...]
To Firecracker: This comment is more offending than any mockery. “These Asians need to get the eff over themselves.”
By saying that you are suggesting that there are never any actual acts of racism or stereotyping or anything of that nature. Furthermore, that no one of any race, class, or group should be allowed to complain about said racism or stereotyping.
Now, I’m not saying that what Miley Cyrus did was considered racist. I being Asian myself, fyi. I could care less what face she was trying to make. It was most likely the photographic result of a young person showing her young self doing stupid things young people would do. I highly doubt it was intended to be malicious. Heck, I don’t even think she was thinking at that moment, “Oh, I wanna make fun of those Asian people – let me make a face to mock them.” Seriously, the lawsuit is ridiculous.
But like I said. Firecracker’s comment was more offending than this dumb photograph of Miley. No one would care to call it racist had it been the face of your average Joe. But, again, that doesn’t mean that we as human beings are not allowed to point out acts of racism and demand that such persons be punished for them. Considering there aren’t that many people of Asian descent in the United States, I say we have every reason to be on guard and to fight against actual malicious behavior. Besides, the same people who make this kind of commentary are probably the same folks who say black people or Latino people need to get over themselves. But, I digress.
Thanks for the stimulating article! And the equally stimulating bashing commentary! Woo hoo! What a nation we live in.
WTF?!? is she for real? since when does she speak for all people of Asian decent? I’m so sick of hearingabout this. Not sure which story has been harped on more this, the Chris Brown/Rihanna thing, or Michael Phelps. Don’t you just love how the nedia overblows everything?
Seriously, what does this woman really expect to get from this lawsuit? Is it about the “wrong” or the money?
mileys photos did not seem racist to me and i am an asian but this ladie who found it racist isnt an asian so stop blaming asian’s use ur own brain first
@ Mik – People make fun of your accent?
@ Coffee – Hi again. Per the article, some idiot named Lucie J. Kim is suing as if she actually speaks for all Asian people.
@ Sherry Lee – Thanks for taking the time to leave such a lengthy and thought out comment. Also, welcome to the community! With regards to comments to Firecracker I shall leave her to respond if she comes back. With regards to the comments for me. Thanks for the compliments! This was a fun piece to write
@ Mystery Man – Slow news days are like the ‘Blogging Flu’; long, painful depressing and drawn out. There have been some scandals going on this week and ridiculous updates keep leaking. *sigh*
