But there's an Asian guy in the Miley picture and he doesn't care!

Sorry, had to say it.

*stifles laughter*

OMG you're right! If he thinks it's okay, then we ALL SHOULD. I hear coloured people think as a conglomerate. *nods wisely*

Wait now, it depends. I'm Black so my opinion comes first on racial issues. It takes like three Asians to override my decisions, four if I'm being sassy that day.

Wait wait - you're black?! There are black people in fandom?? I wish I knew how to draw characters like you in my fanart, but I don't know enough about your culture. So sad! ***CUTESYPOUTZ***

My sentiments exactly. In fact, can I just spam that wee baby across various actions of FAIL?

Ohhhhhh dude; the scary part being how many people probably take that song seriously. Like dear Miley up there.

You might want to mention, and I think it's okay to point this out, that OCA Philly was referred to this protest by a person who wishes to remain anonymous--but was a major player who worked on the animated series.

Wow, really?

I think I'm just gonna take a moment and revel in this thought. *HEEEEEEEE*

jedifreac February 6 2009, 08:40:31 UTC

Yeah, I thought I sent you the email? Do you know what I'm talking about?

glockgal February 6 2009, 20:17:49 UTC

What what what? I may have missed the email due to my organizational incompetance! D'oh.

I really think Miley should think about hiring better people to teach her to apologize and not be made of more fail. At the very least.

bossymarmalade February 6 2009, 03:08:27 UTC

Also to teach her that there are other ways to end a sentence besides an exclamation point, because DAYUM.

callmesandy February 6 2009, 04:51:29 UTC

She's very enthusiastic about being wrong and racist!!!!

glockgal February 6 2009, 03:31:29 UTC

I don't know about that; does Billy Ray believe in teaching her things? *ponders thoughtfully*
