Hadley Freeman,
I would like to begin by saying that i think your article about Miley Cyrus' dancing on stage and the way she chooses to perform, and making statements about cultural appropriation is an outrage. Miley chooses the way that she wants to sell tickets and the way that she wants to make her own money, and im sure she can dance whatever way she wants for her own fans.
To bring culture appropriation into the picture is also completely unnecessary, Miley Dances the way that represents the person that she wants to be and that's completely up to her. Miley needs to come across with the sort of sexual act that she does and that is because of her upbringing to fans. She was a child actor and would never have been taken seriously without making a serious point to everyone across the world. For a young girl like Miley to be voted one of the worlds sexiest women, may not be completely normal or mainstream but to say it is not an achievement then you are lying to yourself and all of your readers.
Miley doesn't offend any people with the way that she dances and acts so i dont see how you can label and call her out like this.
I dont believe Martin Luther King was referring to any sort of actions made in relation to what Miley is doing too so i thought that was completely unnecessary also, i believe you should really think about what you go posting in articles and maybe do an extra edit next time. I hope i don't have to send you another e-mail of this kind.
Best Regards, Jamie Stephens
