Comic and actress Margaret Cho is not amused at Miley Cyrus' slanty eyed photo pictorial posted on the Internet.
Cho is a Korean-American who claims to be "appalled" by the image, according to contactmusic.com, and has taken it upon herself to lampoon the toothy teen in song.
The comic sings, "I wasn’t necessarily a fan of her, her dad, or Hannah Montana/I tend to prefer the songs of Rihanna/Racism against Asians is simply bananas"
She adds, "Oh Miley!/Chinky eyes make you look wily/Prejudice isn’t thought of so highly/It doesn’t make us all smiley... All you have to do is pull at your face/To make your eyelids resemble our race/This kind of joke has no proper place/Miley Cyrus is a disgrace!"
Cyrus has made the "I'm Sorry" rounds and issued a statement saying it was just a goof. The Organization of Chinese Americans director, George Wu, demanded she apologize, then demanded she do it again after the first apology seemed insincere.
Contactmusic notes Cyrus used her website to issue a second apology.
She wrote, "I want to thank all of my fans for their support not only this week, but always! I really wanted to stress how sorry I am if the photo of me with my friends offended anyone. I have learned a valuable lesson from this and know that sometimes my actions can be unintentionally hurtful."
