I don't think the point of this lawsuit is the money itself, sure $4 Billion is alarming and raises attention, but that's the point. To raise awarenessand inform the people that her (and others) actions were racist and some did find it offensive. If she and others ignorantaly go about doing this withoutlearning the effects of their choices, they probably won't stop and see how what they are doing is harmful.

The "slanted eyes" is how the people were born, nothing they could control... just like your name, skin color, etc, etc... To make fun of that isinconsiderate and ignorant.
 
Trying to shed some light on the $4 bil number:

The minimum damages for a class action lawsuit per person is $4000. It was filed for all Asians in LA county and i guess they're assuming that's about1 million people, hence $4 billion!


Sorry if it's already been mentioned
 
I really don't think they're going to win the money, but that's no the point. I'm sure the media backlash that Miley Cyrus has been receivingwas the intention.

And for you guys saying, "Oh what about that Asian guy in the picture?" You guys are absolutely right. I forgot it only takes one person to representthe views of an entire ethnic group.

"I'm tired of racist people always saying we have big nasty negro lips and that we don't work. I'm not even a good dancer but every where I go and yada yada yada"... Who said all of that?

. People take their own connotations too far sometimes. That pic looks more like "We're getting drunk and high... let's take a pic with low eyes!" than "Let's insult Asians by doing the slanted eye thing!"

are you serious? come one, even you know they were mocking asians

but that bein said, they cant sue for this crap

I can't believe I missed this.

What the hell are "low eyes"? Sounds like you're either speaking from personal experience or you're trying to find a way to justify thepictures obvious racist intent.
 
On a side note, I feel like this Asian kid in the picture completely captures what the experience of growing up Asian in America is all about. Halfway in on the joke, halfway a butt of the joke -- the blind-sided "I-don't-know-how-to-react-to-this-racist-@%*!%+%!" look on his face sums up so many awful moments in my own life.Does anyone know who this kid is?

true, well i still think it was foul that all of them are clowning asians that way.
 
It's not about the money, it's about letting Miley Cyrus and the other ignorant people out there know that the Asian community will not simply letracist gestures slide.
 
From the pic it looks like the intent was to have the one Asian kid have his eyes wide open and the rest slanted. Still done in poor taste.
 
haha it looks like tha asian is tryin to open his eyes really wide to mimic non asians and they are slantin to mimic asians

For 4 billion, it's about the money.

..people are so +$+@%## sensitive...can she counter sue????
Don't talk if you don't understand how it feels to be mocked for being Asian. With that said


To you, to Miley Cyrus for being stupid, and for Lucie blowing things out of proportion.

There's a fine line between jokes and insults and she crossed that line. For you to suggest her to counter-sue is just as ridiculous andabsurd as Luice asking for 4 billion dollars. So other people joke about race, she's justified to do so as well? I'm not surprised at your ignorance,especially after looking at your signature.

. Since you're fromPhilly, I'll go out on a limb as to say you probably also support having casino development moved to the Philadelphia Chinatown as well. I welcome you toprove me wrong.
