OK, Miley Cyrus is a mega-dummy for making the squinty face in that recent photo, but she's sixteen years old, an age when one is more concerned with deciphering the hidden meaning of Kelly Clarkson lyrics than racial sensitivity. But try telling that to Lucie Kim, some Los Angeles lady who was so devastated by Miley pulling up her eyes that she's suing for a huge chunk of cheese. TMZ says:
A Los Angeles woman has filed a class action suit against Miley Cyrus, claiming she mocked Asians in a recent photo by slanting her eyes. Price tag: $4 billion.
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 ìknew or should have known that her image would be publicly disseminated via the media, which Cyrus knew focused on her private life, specifically TMZ.î
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 ó $4,000. Add it up ó $4 billion!
Well, what do you expect? A picture of an undereducated clueless teenager pulling at her eyeballs is mentally devastating. We can understand how someone would look at it and be overcome with so much suffering that the only thing that could make the hurt go away is a bunch of dollars. We understand because we were so offended by this picture of Courtney Love in a bikini that we sued her and won. We got a busted breast implant with dog chew marks on it, a truckload of unsold "America's Sweetheart" CDs, and a quarter. It was a shiny quarter though!

No one ever mentions the joke of the picture– the Caucasians have slanted eyes and the one Oriental has round eyes. They were having a little fun!
