Tsunamis, Asians, Telephones, and BOTTLED BLONDE BIMBOS...

So over the weekend my friend (J.H.Y) posted a video on my Facebook page that I found disgusting for multiple reasons. I have always been a proponent of free speech, I accept people for their beliefs, their way of life, and I try not to comment on the things stupid people say, HOWEVER, today I must make an exception. Alexandra Wallace a young political science major at UCLA posted a video rant on Asians in the library, when her actual point, one that is much broader and way less racist was that folks shouldn't be talking loudly on the phone in the library. While I certainly agree that students should respect quiet study spaces, I DO NOT AGREE with the foolish and disrespectful manner in which Ms.(she doesn't deserve a title here we'll just call her wally) Wallace presented herself in her video.


       In one fell swoop she went from identifying with just about every student who's ever sat in a library to identifying with a significantly smaller group of people who spread hate like gooseberry jam on a morning croissant. First she identifies herself as an "AMERICAN".....what's that supposed to mean? People can be American and not be white honey get over yourself. She says her mama raised her to not be rude....did she hear herself..that was plenty rude ma'am. Wally then goes on to say that Asian people always have there family over on the weekends to cook, clean, and do other chores for their children because they don't  know how to do it themselves...I'm sure that was just jealousy first off and secondly she probably doesn't do much herself except buy blonde hair dye and waste her money on color coordinated push up bras...  She then goes on to make fun of their dialect and language with a very well thought out  terribly executed disaster of an accented sentence ching chong ling long ting tong....really do all their words rhyme like that? Finally she hits a home run when she says their probably all checking n family from "that tsunami thing" ...as if 1. A tsunami is not a disaster that claims lives and family should not be checked on and more disturbingly 2. she thinks ALL ASIAN PEOPLE ARE FROM JAPAN.... YIKES!! how did this girl even get into college thinking like this. I can't go on because then I'll just start to be rude myself so here's the video's link if you didn't already watch it above...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg3tIERI-D4&feature=player_embedded

  1. YEah you go girlll!! I definitely agree with those points you raised esp the whole tsunami part- not everyone asian is from japan -___- and while I agree with her overall point that people shouldnt be on their phones talking loudly in quiet study areas, esp as a political sci major, she presented her point in a terrible ignorant way. She should go back to high school and learn to grow up and mature again!

  2. Yes she certainly picked the wrong major....she's so ignorant....She clearly thinks she's American but if you'll look at the post before this one you'll see how I feel about that load a crap....

  3. I almost feel sorry for this girl. A few odd minutes of ranting probably wasn't worth the backlash her ill-timed and blatantly ignorant video clip has triggered. So much for the term "higher-education"

  4. I don't feel bad for her....she like many Americans needs a lesson in diversity and acceptance.
