Asian Suing Miley Delivers Kung Pow to Judge

Posted Jun 12th 2009 8:25PM by TMZ Staff

So you're suing Miley Cyrus, claiming she defamed 1,000,000 Asian Pacific Islanders in L.A. County by taking a picture while making squinty eyes ... so how do you gain favor with the judge -- call him a racist.

Lucie Kim and her lawyer, Henry Lee (not the OJ Simpson forensics dude Henry Lee) claim the judge crossed the line in a hearing last week by repeatedly referring to Asians as "oriental." They say the word "oriental" is "an offensive, derogatory racial insult to persons of Asians descent ... akin to using the word N---er.

Kim and Lee want Judge Robert Hess to remove himself from the case.
