I've watched that music video so many times I didn't even have to click play for the song to get stuck in my head. I love the supergroups of k-pop. Their music is so freaking catchy and the synchronized choreography always amazes me.

I was going to make this same comment, but then I realized that from a advertising point of view you should never make sweeping declarative statements no matter how widespread the belief is so taking out "often" makes the sentence feel wrong. Though in the best case scenario, they probably would have said "which is a…
Same! That's what I came here to ask because I put that book down almost as soon as I picked it up.
I'm the worst of America? Then wow, our country's improved a ton since the last time I looked at a census.

You can argue about the symbolism and imagery of Miley Cyrus's videos all you want, but no it's not the same thing because she's not (that we know of) purposely placing it there. I have the same opinion with that whole Robin Thicke "Blurred Lines" controversy. You can say you're offended and tell the artist why, but…
So by social consequences, you mean the tarnishing of one's reputation? I really don't think that is something college students think about during their Friday night adventures (besides accidentally posting things online) because the only other people who know about their escapades are their friends. I mean, of course…
The difference is that the sorority girls are holding signs clearly insinuating that Mexicans are poor and homeless. If they were just wearing sombreros, I would have no problem throwing them the "they're just doing something fun" card. So unless I missed something, Miley is not out saying "black people are poor", and…
You have yet to mention any of these consequences.
Yeah, I don't agree.
You and everyone else who says stuff like this is exactly the problem. You can't just yell "the white people are stealing from me" every time something becomes cross-cultural. The creation and assimilation of cultural facets needs to be a two-way street. How are we ever going to move forward if you get offended every…
Easy, that case is clearly a negative "lol Mexicans are poor" whereas Miley sees her case as a positive "this is a cool thing that people are doing so I want to do it too"
I'm 20 years old, not an idiot.
Last time I checked Miley Cyrus has not punched anyone in the face nor urinated on someone else's property so I'm pretty sure these two cases are not the same.
You probably do know of 20 year olds like her, but they're just not in the spotlight, and therefore, you don't have every stupid comment they've made published for you to see.
I'm not saying that you have to get used to it, my point is that the problem lies not with Miley, but with our society as a whole. Miley is just acting the way all other college-aged students are. She's trying to keep up with what is popular so people like her, and right now, what is popular is twerking and hip-hop…
Okay, wow I just rolled my eyes SO hard. You sound like someone who tries so hard not to be racist, that you are inadvertently being racist. People of color are not animals who you need to invite over to your house to sit down and study. And guess, what? Even if you did do that, the results would be inconclusive…
Nope! And I actually think your (incorrect) assumption is more racist than anything Miley is doing.
Of course, some 20 year olds are responsible adults, but most are not. You're giving us college students much more credit than we deserve.
You don't have to "put up" with Miley. You choose to read articles about her. And I never said you didn't have the right to criticize (you know the gif actually says keep hatin'), but I just think your criticism shows that you are out-of-touch with today's 20 year olds.
