Miley Cyrus denies being a racist

Washington (ANI): Teen sensation Miley Cyrus has denied poking fun at Asians, insisting that recent pictures showing pulling her eyes into a slanted position was nothing more than a "goofy" face. The Hanna Montana star blasted the media for what she to be a move to make her look like Hollywood's newest bad girl.

"I've also been told there are some people upset about some pictures taken of me with friends making goofy faces!" Fox News quoted her as saying on her official fansite. "Well, I'm sorry if those people looked at those pics and took them wrong and out of context.

"In NO way was I making fun of any ethnicity! I was simply making a goofy face. When did that become newsworthy... It seems someone is trying to make something out of nothing to me... I definitely feel like the press is trying to make me out as the new 'BAD GIRL'". "I feel like now that Britney is back on top of her game again, they need someone to pick on! Lucky me," she added.
