Everyone has seen the photo of Miley Cyrus slanting her eyes with a group of other people mocking Asians as well. Except the actual Asian guy in the picture of course. Anyway, she has apologized twice, but now TMZ has revealed a lawsuit over it:
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!

This is probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. If Pacific Islanders are seriously crying over that photo, maybe they should go back to....Pacific Island. Because here in the United States, we make fun of people. The British have bad teeth, the French are weak, Mexicans work for 12 cents an hour, everyone in Africa has AIDS, Australians worship Crocodile Dundee and get to work via a kangaroo's pouch. They're all 100% true, but you don't see any of them complaining.
