Just two days ago photos came to light on the Internet which appears to depict the 16 year old Hannah Montana starlet and her boyfriend platonic friend Justin Gaston stretching their eyelids into slits as they appear to be joking with friends.
Whilst Miley & Justin’s true intentions in this photo cannot be verified, it seems that the person who leaked the photo seems to think there’s a derogatory connotation to the pose. Karen Narasaki, president of the director for the Asian American Justice Center, would seem to agree.
She commented: “It’s hard to imagine the context where this would be okay, It’s offensive and disappointing. She’ such a role model for young women.”
Miley or her reps have so far been unavailable to comment on the incident, but this is just the latest in a long string of embarrassing incidents for Miley Cyrus. First there was the inappropriately sexy, belly baring pictures of Miley in a shower wearing a soaked white t-shirt. Next came the Topless Vanity Fair photos, and most recently, the two nip slips.
First there was the Miley Cyrus Nip Slip, where she was on horseback during a photo-shoot, then there was the Miley Cyrus Bra-Less Pictures, where she was on a shopping trip trying new tops on, where she ended up flashing her side-breast, to a bunch of paparazzi photographers.
What do you think? Is this photo offensive, or just silly?

I’m Chinese, so yes, I find it offensive.
The people who say she’s just having fun, You wouldn’t understand it like we do.
My entire life I’ve been made fun of.
There isn’t a time when I haven’t seen people stretch their eyes like that.
Really, why else would someone do that?
How would you like it if we made you all blonde haired and blue eyed?
