It may not be the end of the case, but a judge has
dismissed a lawsuit against Miley Cyrus for posing in a picture with other teens, apparently making fun of people of Asian ancestry (mostly). It seems the plaintiffs thought people have a right not to be offended. I wonder where they got that notion?
I'm not going to defend the actions of the people in the photo from criticism. Actually,
I criticize their actions. Making fun of entire groups of people for aspects of their appearance that they were born with is stupid and can be downright cruel. Plus, I happen to think "Asian" eyes are beautiful. But this is a freedom of speech issue.
