Miley Says She's No Discriminator, Fires Back in Asian Photo Flap

UPDATE: On June 4, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert L. Hess gave the plaintiff 10 more days to file an amended complaint in support of her case before he issues a ruling on whether to dismiss.
________________________________
Miley Cyrus' people apparently don't discriminate when it comes to how hard they'll fire back against someone who attacks their boss girl, no matter how kooky the cause.
The tween queen's legal team on Tuesday challenged a wannabe class-action suit filed by a woman who was offended by the infamous photograph of Cyrus and some of her friends slanting their eyes.
Cyrus' attorneys state that Lucie J. Kim's claim is predicated on a civil rights statute that has to do with equal access to public accommodations. Kim may complain that the Cyrus pic insulted Los Angeles County's entire Asian-Pacific Islander population, but her lawsuit does not entitle her to "redress for racial insults," the filing states.
Meaning, Kim doesn't deserve reparations just because she was offended.
Cyrus has also already apologized for her "goofy" Kodak moment and the plaintiff has even admitted in court documents that the Hannah Montana star "did not intend to discriminate against Asian-Pacific Islander descent," her lawyers added.
Kim contested in her original suit that she and her fellow Asian-Pacific Islanders in Los Angeles were entitled to $4,000 apiece in civil rights damages, bringing the wishful grand total to about $4 billion after accounting for the Southland's sizable Asian and Asian-American population.
A hearing on Cyrus' motion to toss the suit has been set for June 4.
