Miley Cyrus creates "controversy" with "chinkeye" pose

If we listened close enough, we could probably hear the words going through her head right at that moment: "I have an Asian friend, so it's okay." And to be quite honest, it probably is.

But because the poser is Miley Cyrus, and because Asian Americans love to get mad at things, someone somewhere had to demand an apology.

The OCA (Organization of Chinese Americans) told veritable news source TMZ this:

...Not only has Miley Cyrus and the other individuals in the photograph encouraged and legitimized the taunting and mocking of people of Asian descent, she has also insulted her many Asian Pacific American fans... The inclusion of an Asian Pacific American individual in the photo does not make it acceptable.
