Miley Cyrus’ Most Expensive Mistake, Ever
February 12th, 2009 by Wendie
Lucie J. Kim has filed suit in Superior Court against Miley Cyrus, on behalf of every Asian Pacific Islander in Los Angeles County. This is just the newest development in Slantgate. Kim is asking for the minimum amount that can be awarded for a civil rights violation-$4,000 for each person. That totals FOUR BILLION DOLLARS.
Kim isn’t swayed by Miley’s “aw, shucks, I’m just a young’un, ya’ll know I love you and Jesus,” apology and feels that Cyrus is on the same maturity level as Paris Hilton. In other words, this chick basically called Miley a whore. A whore who must pay.

I like Miley, I don’t know why, but I do.
It doesn’t look like Data was offended & maybe they were all just smoking pot and playing “me Chinese” to make him feel at home? ; )
People need to lighten up…seriously *shakes head*
This is so ridiculous, she’s a teenage girl who was goofing around with her friends, it’s not cause for a lawsuit. Everyone just needs to get over it!
hahahha. I think this is awesome.
AMEN.
Omg! I do kind of feel bad for the girl – $4 billion is a shitload of money, even for a pop star. I actually don’t think it’s ridiculous though – Kim is likely making a statement more than anything else. Heard loud and clear!!!

This Kim lady clearly happened to come across this photo, and jumped at the chance to call it a civil rights violation and get a bunch of money. You know that she probably doesn’t really care THAT much. However, i suppose she is making a good stance against racism that still occurs today…
That’s really unfair :O
And omg, the made Asian eyes, big deal, it’s hardly “racist”
Atleast there’s an Asan in the photo – makes everything okay
=]
umm what about the others in the photo making the SAME face as her? that’s ridiculous. i can understand racism and i definitely am not a miley fan, but really? harmless.
Yeah, um, sorry to burst her bubble, and I don’t know what dumb fuck lawyer took and filed this lawsuit, speaking as a lawyer who isn’t a dumbass and did pass constitutional law, Miley Cirus can’t violate anyone’s civil rights or be “liable” for racism. She’s not the government, she’s not the state — she’s a PRIVATE PARTY. She’s just as entitled to free speech and/or free “actions” as the next person. Including making fun of people with slanted eyes! Jesus christ! Unless there’s some wierd ass statute out there that I’m not aware of…It’s shit like this that gives lawyers a bad name.
so true!!! this is sooooo insane!!!! people, please get lives!!!!!
Uh oh Margaret Cho has a voice;

I’m lovin’ the asian in the photo though. WOnder what is take on all of this is…
Listen.
Anyone dumb enough to believe that this was filed due to stupidity obviously does not know much about the way of the world.
It’s for ATTENTION. Get it? It’s to bring light to the plight of Asian Pacific Islander Americans in the US. If this had been a slight against African Americans, the NAACP would be all over it calling for reparations (rightfully so) and everyone would stand behind it. Have you forgotten that racism can happen to anyone of any color and it is NOT acceptable?
Would you be more ok if the number was lower? Because I feel like, to be honest, I’m definitely worth more than $4000 (which is about how much they’re estimating per Asian person in LA County) So think of it like that.
Obviously she is not a governmental entity but you know, sometimes, a large statement must be made to showcase the idiocy of racism altogether.
Justice Frank Murphy said it best in his famous dissent for Korematsu v. United States , which by the way, has yet to be overturned completely.
I dissent, therefore, from this legalization of racism. Racial discrimination in any form and in any degree has no justifiable part whatever in our democratic way of life. It is unattractive in any setting, but it is utterly revolting among a free people who have embraced the principles set forth in the Constitution of the United States. All residents of this nation are kin in some way by blood or culture to a foreign land. Yet they are primarily and necessarily a part of the new and distinct civilization of the United States
Exactly how do you put a monetary value on a perceived slight? And by the way, if you did not notice, most Asians have slanted eyes. If you are Asian and somehow embarrassed by that fact then you’ve got a major problem.
most black people have black skin and yet black face is extremely offensive
Oh, and I’d like to note that the likelihood of a judge even hearing this case is slim. And if one does, it’s doubtful the settlement will be that large. But only time will tell. The courts have done some wacky things before.
I mean, suing McDonald’s for hot coffee? And winning?
Oh tort law, what have you turned into!?
At least this is a civil rights issue and not something ridiculous like coffee being *GASP* HOT.
You know, I think Miley Cyrus sucks ass! Though, this is fucking stupid. Everyone in the entire world has done the “Chinese Eye” thing for a photo opp. Get over it you sissy ass liberal fucksticks! This is yet another reason the ACLU should be abolished from the face of the earth. Get a grip people
Does this mean I can sue Robert Downey Jr. for portraying a white man pretending to be a black man or as he said it “the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude”?
This is shit. She shouldn’t get a cent.
Dude, the guy on the far right(with a glass of WHAT in his hand, exactly?) is pretty hot. reminds me of a less good looking Page.
aw…
she’s just being Miley…
aw…
she’s just being Miley…
Even if there is an asian in that picture, there is no need to make those eyes , because most asians’ eyes are not like that. And some people don’t think that as a “goofy” face.
I want to be an attoney in awesome america.
asd Miley Cyrus Makes a Dream Come True.
Miley has done really stupid things in her life. Besides her great reputation as a singer and an actress, she has dated alot of guys (And justin gaston was 22 when they dated) And that Vanity Fair photoshoot what so unreasonable. This situation means she crossed a line, a long one. I’m not trying to be rude to her but it goes without saying, she went to far to mess up her life after only 16 years.
P.S. I do think Lucie went to far though.
I do feel sorry for miley because she has worked hard. But if she wanted to have fun she shouldnt have had offensive fun.In some ways she is wrong and the attorney is wrong. But in my opinion I definetly think we have seen the ‘Other side of her’ No offense meant honest, I still like her songs.
