Miley Cyrus Swears She's Not Racist

What?

If you have to say it...

Yesterday we reported about how Miley Cyrus was causing yet another uproar, this time with an image of her pulling at her eyes in a "slanty" attempt to mock Asians. But Miley has responded with a resounding "NUH UH!"

On her official website, Miley released the following statement:

"I've also been told there are some people upset about some pictures taken of me with friends making goofy faces! Well, I'm sorry if those people looked at those pics and took them wrong and out of context! In NO way was I making fun of any ethnicity!"

She goes on to say, "I definitely feel like the press is trying to make me out as the new 'BAD GIRL!' I feel like now that Britney [Spears] is back on top of her game again, they need someone to pick on! Lucky me!"

The photo in question...

Considering that this girl can't so much as break wind without people twice her age frothing at the mouth about the moral downturn in America today, I feel for Miley. Raised in a celebrity vaccuum, maturing in the high-pressure machine that has also given us Britney and Christina, it's impossible for her to do anything "right."

But let's hear from the peanut gallery. What do you think of the Miley pic?
