Less than a year after her infamous Vanity Fair shoot, another photo of teen queen Miley Cyrus is causing controversy.



In a photograph taken with boyfriend Justin Gaston and a group of friends, the Hannah Montana star, 16, pulls a slant-eye pose in an apparent attempt to 'look Asian'.



After the image was leaked on to the internet, Asian American groups have condemned the pose as 'racist' and demanded an apology from the teenager.








Controversial: Miley Cyrus (centre) and friends lark around for the cameras



A spokesman for the Organisation of Chinese American (OCA) said: 'The photo falls within a long and unfortunate history of people mocking and denigrating individuals of Asian descent.



'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 friends.





Teen sensation: Miley as Hannah Montana




'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.'



The OCA said the inclusion of an Asian American in the photo, the only one in a group of eight who wasn't pulling a face, did not make the image acceptable.



This isn't the first time Miley has attracted controversy for her personal photos.



Several images on the internet of Miley posing with friends were criticised as too suggestive for her age.



Last year, Miley apologised and admitted she was 'embarrassed' over her topless pose for acclaimed photographer Annie Liebovitz in Vanity Fair magazine.



The teenager, who was 15 at the time, appeared to be topless as she pose with just a cream sheet across her chest.



Following the outcry from family groups and outraged parents, Miley said: 'I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed.





'I never intended for this to happen and I apologise to my fans. The pictures of me on the Internet were silly, inappropriate shots.



The 16-year-old's recent pose echoes that of the Spanish basketball team, who were photographed pulling the same face during the Beijing Olympics last year.
