Rocker Hayley Williams has opened up about her thoughts on Miley Cyrus's provocative performance at the recent 2013 MTV VMAs and confessed that the 'racial' aspects made her uncomfortable.

Speaking to 98.7 Amp Radio, the 'Still Into You' frontwoman explained that she is concerned at how the 'We Can't Stop' hitmaker is using a different culture as an "accessory" and thinks it's awkward:

"It seems like more people are focusing on the trashiness or the dancing, the clothes. But I, actually, am uncomfortable with the racial aspect of it. I feel like she’s sort of taking a culture that isn’t really hers and sort of using it as an accessory, and that actually bothers me more. I feel like maybe someone needs to go to her and sort of explain the race issue.”

“I’m not going to be the artist that goes around throwing accusations that other artists are racist. I’m not gonna go there. I do think it’s a little insensitive, and it definitely seems as though there were black women onstage with her that...kinda felt like accessories more than anything else. I felt uncomfortable about that."

Williams added that she understands that Cyrus needs to show that she is becoming a woman and wants to break free from her Disney past, but believes there's probably a better way to go about it:

"I think Miley’s a 20-year-old girl who’s going to experience, or try to experience, new things for the first time, and that does include partying and wearing certain things that people aren’t going to feel comfortable with, and that, to me, is the lesser of any of the evils. That part doesn’t make me as uncomfortable.”
