Margaret Cho: 'Miley Cyrus is a disgrace'

Margaret Cho at a screening of "The Cho Show" on Aug. 13, 2008
Korean American comic Margaret Cho is so upset about Miley Cyrus' slanted-eye photo that she wrote a song about it, calling the "Hannah Montana" star "a disgrace."

Here are the lyrics to the song, "Oh Miley, "which Margaret posted on her web site:

Miley Cyrus made some chinky eyes
Standing behind an Asian guy
I don’t know if this should fly
As if there wasn’t enough to despise

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!

Oh Miley!
Chinky eyes make you look wily
prejudice isn’t thought of so highly
it doesn’t make us all smiley

Why is there nothing that Asians can do?
To make fun of other races as easily as you
Why isn’t racism against Asians taboo?
Why are we always so racially screwed!

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!

Miley is being sued for $4 billion in a class action filed Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court on behalf of the million Asian Pacific Islanders living in Los Angeles County.
