A GROUP representing America's Asian community have demanded MILEY CYRUS apologise for a "taunting" and "insulting" photograph that leaked onto the Internet.
In the snap 16-year-old Miley, boyfriend JUSTIN GASTON and other pals pull their eyes in a mocking fashion as they pose with an Asian friend.
A spokesman for The Organization of Chinese American (OCA) blasted: "Not only has Miley Cyrus and the other individuals in the photograph encouraged and legitimised the taunting and mocking of people of Asian descent, she has also insulted her many Asian Pacific American fans.
"The inclusion of an Asian Pacific American individual in the photo does not make it acceptable.
"We hope that Miley Cyrus will apologise to her fans and the APA community for this lapse in judgment and takes the opportunity to better understand why the gesture is offensive."
This isn't the first time a picture of Miley has caused a backlash.
The teen star of Disney's Hannah Montana had to apologise when scantily-clad snaps of her were leaked onto the net.
Miley or her representatives have yet to comment on the latest picture.
