The little people don't have to do it? You're right, they don't HAVE to do it. Yet.. If you're an actor or dancer and happen to be a little person you're just basically constantly made fun of. So you're right.. If they don't want to do it then they should just stay out of the industry because people like Miley perpetuate their place in it.

I think if you take the pay cheque and don't pull out when the full nature of the act is disclosed to you, then the onus is on you to turn it down.
You lose cred after you take the money. Would have been better for a group of them to say "No thanks" beforehand and state the reason why.

i didnt even realize those were little people in those costumes
did the little person woman not go to rehearsals?
i guess she never saw the full performance
of course it was exploitative--Miley is exploiting herself and anyone else she possibly can

I disagree... when you're a starving actor, you need the money. You need to pay your bills and make sure that you have a place to stay and have food to eat. It's really not as simple or easy as it sounds. If I were in her place, I would feel degraded too, but I'd still take the money because as she said she had to have her car repaired and her laptop was broken. What if one night you're fine sleeping in your bed, but then the next night you're evicted because you can't pay your bills. As a woman you need to protect yourself... I've heard that many women who end up on the streets, end up getting raped or becoming a prostitute for money. I think getting money for performing for Miley Cyrus is morally way better than becoming a prostitute to pay your bills. There are way worse things in the world that you could do to be morally unacceptable than performing for Miley Cyrus... As much as she bugs me, this is all an act, in the scheme of things she's really only embarrassing herself and her family.
On top of the bills part, the dancer lives in Los Angeles. Very expensive place to live, I'm sure she really needed the money.
But it didn't come off to me that she was complaining, just expressing how she felt when she did the performance.

This woman had no reason to put herself in that position. This just in: the entertainment industry makes A LOT of people feel like garbage -- not just little people. Unless you get very lucky as a budding entertainer, you are likely going to partake in jobs that leave you with that not-so-fresh feeling if it's your sole way of paying the bills. It sucks, but it is a reality of the industry. This may range from being black so you fill a specific role in a commercial or being a "hot" girl that delivers a dumb line intended to objectify the character. There are countless of aspiring models/actors who DO work in various industries so they DON'T have to do jobs that make them feel like crap after. It's a dog eat dog business and you have to draw your own lines imho.
If something makes you feel uncomfortable, don't do it. Don't leave it to society to have your back or you're screwed.
It's not Miley's job to save the world. Give me a break.

I am bittersweet about her new album... But I do love her song FU. It may or may not be computer enhancement, Her voice is actually very powerful...
Now Miley Cyrus makes 'anti-semitic comment' as she says she won't take advice from an 'old Jewish man' in new interview
Miley Cyrus sticking out her tongue continually was defiant enough.
Now the controversial 20-year-old has put her foot where her mouth should be by unleashing another unfiltered comment that might have her bosses twitching in their chairs.
Miley states in a new interview that people in the music industry are old and too Jewish to know what's best for her career.
Open wide: Miley Cyrus put her foot in her mouth by telling an interviewer she won't take career advice from an Jewish man; she is pictured at the NY release party for her new album Bangerz on Tuesday
Tablet reported the news that Miley had made an 'anti-Semitic slip' during the documentary.
Her racy video for We Can't Stop became the hot topic across the nation as it features spankings, twerking, weird images involving hot dogs and french fries and the singer in overtly sexual situations.
Miley indicated that she knew what she was doing the whole time and did it her way, in spite of the resistence among the older generations.
'It’s always weird when things are targeted for young people, yet they’re driven by people that are like 40 years too old,' Miley told Hunger TV.
She's doing it her way: The 20-year-old, pictured dancing with a hand glove at the MTV VMAs on August 25, believes she knows best when it comes to marketing her music
'It can’t be like this 70-year-old Jewish man that doesn’t leave his desk all day, telling me what the clubs want to hear.'
She said: 'At first, on paper, that video sounded insane. No one understood it, and I’m just like, "Let me film it and then, if it doesn’t work out, you never have to trust me again — but if it works out you have to let me drive this ship."'
The Nashville-bred twerker obviously thinks she's smarter than the powers-that-be in the music business, and admits that her wild behavior is a good marketing ploy.
What is she doing: Miley states that the more people wonder about her, the more they'll listen to her record; she's pictured performing at the iHeart Radio Music Festival Village on September 21 in Las Vegas
'At the end of the day, I want people to buy my records,' Miley said in the interview. 'The more that they’re wondering what the hell is she doing, the more they’re going to want to listen to my record.'
The newly single Miley finally opened up about her mid-September split with fiance Liam Hemsworth during her Friday appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
'I think people spend more time actually thinking about it then I really do,' Miley said. 'I just believe when a chapter is done you have to close it and start that new one.
'That's kind of where I am right now. I felt like I have so much to be thankful for at this time that my energy hasn't really been focused on that.'
She further added: 'I keep saying I'm the happiest I've ever been and that's not even a dig. That's just me because I really am genuinely happy finally with myself which I think sometimes it takes you separating yourself from someone else to really be happy with who you are.'

Excellent, excellent post. If an individual takes issue with being "objectified", why in the world why would they go into the entertainment industry at all? Go to college, learn a skill, drive a desk and make a solid living.
Exactly. There are plenty of other jobs one can do that not only pay better, but are a lot easier to get.
