Margaret Cho Has a Few Choice Words for Miley Cyrus

Remember this photo from a few weeks ago, the one in which Miley Cyrus is making fun of Asians?

Well, Margaret Cho, who is Asian, and just happens to be one our favorite people in the world, has written a sweet little poem to Miley.

Miley Cyrus made some chinky eyes
Standing behind an Asian guy
I don’t know if this should fly
As if there wasn’t enough to despise

I wasn’t necessarily a fan of
Her, her dad, or Hannah Montana
I tend to prefer the songs of Rihanna
Racism against Asians is simply bananas!

Oh Miley!
Chinky eyes make you look wily
prejudice isn’t thought of so highly
it doesn’t make us all smiley

Why is there nothing that Asians can do?
To make fun of other races as easily as you
Why isn’t racism against Asians taboo?
Why are we always so racially screwed!

All you have to do is pull at your face
To make your eyelids resemble our race
This kind of joke has no proper place
Miley Cyrus is a disgrace!

Meanwhile, Lucie J Kim filed a civil suit in LA County Superior Court against Miley for $4 billion (yup, that's US dollars).

Kim claims that each Asian Pacific Islander in LA County is entitled to a minimum of $4,000 for a civil-rights violation stemming from the photograph.

Kim says Miley “knew or should have known that her image would be publicly disseminated via the media, which Cyrus knew focused on her private life,” and that Miley “had actual knowledge that her conduct was in fact a form of racism, prejudice and mockery of the physical attributes of Asian Pacific Islanders.”

Good luck with that one, Lucie.
