First off, I don't even understand why this article is titled "Asian Group Not Mad At One of These People." What Asian group and who aren't they mad at? The entire article suggests there is one particular Asian group (OCA) who is very mad at one individual (Miley Cyrus). And second, what the hell is going on?

If you remember correctly Pau Gasol of the LA Lakers and his buddies in Spain did something similar during the 2008 Summer Olympics. Not only that, this wasn't even the first time Spain was a culprit! Spain's 2008 Federation Tennis Team did the same shit! To echo Hamilton Nolan, "Hey Spain, stop that." You'd figure that situation would have raised some flags for future offenses. But you'd figure wrong.

But what bothers me more is that TMZ had a vote of whether it was "Over the line" or "Who cares" and a shockingly 70% said "Who cares." I mean wow. I also read a bunch of the comments and people said stuff like:

"1. People need to get over themselves SO WHAT !!!!! Get tougher skin !!!!"
7. Oh, WOW! I'm asian & I do that in LOTS of pictures, why doesn't the OCA get offended at me??? Does anyone else smell racism???


10. lighten up people, we all know everyone makes jokes about everyone. seriously this crap is getting ridiculous.. stop taking yourselves so seriously. i can laugh at myself no problem"

That's what bothers me the most. It's the indifference of people toward the feelings of Asians because we do not have the Hollywood-esque glorified story of struggle like African Americans in America. It's because AA community doesn't make enough noise when stuff like this goes down. Michael Phelps smokes a bong, (wow, who hasn't right?) and story breaks over the networks like a wildfire but this one gets swept under the carpet.

But it's all good because we have a black president now. Racism no longer exists.
