She's got like 4 appropriative tattoos from all kinds of cultures. Equal opportunity racism!
She also once said that we're over racism so there's no need for the NAACP Awards, so there's that.
I was actually just saying this on twitter. I don't think she's malicious. I really don't think she means to be racist or offensive. She strikes me as mostly nice. But she's completely willful and refuses to acknowledge that her critics have a point. If say, she's gone through the critiques and rebutted them, engaged…
I'm black and Latrice Royale sums up the exact thing I thought when I read that title. So, I'm gonna go with no. Not racist or appropriation.
It's really hard for me to read something Miley said without hearing Vanessa Bayer-as-Miley's voice in my head:

For my fellow dancers and…
Isn't Meredith Grey the same fool that said that she didn't see the need for the NAACP awards and thought that HBCUs were irrelevant?
Well, there were black people dancing. And Arabic. And Filipino. And Hispanic (I think). So, she's kind of wrong in not paying attention AND assuming anyone who isn't black must be white.
She reacted strongly when asked if she had experienced any negative reactions to the issues of a white family adopting a black baby.
