UCLA student's repugnant racist rant

Alexandra Wallace posted a three-minute rant on YouTube called 'Asians in the Library'Self-identified University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) student Alexandra Wallace has gained national notoriety for posting a YouTube video which shows her in a 3-minute long tirade against Asian students.

In the clip, called 'Asians in the Library', Wallace says the "hordes of Asians" at UCLA lack American manners.

She also mocks their speech and faults them for calling family in the wake of the tsunami. "I swear they're going through their whole families just checking on everybody from the tsunami thing," she said.

She continues: "All the Asian people that live in all the apartments around me...and everybody that they know that they brought along from Asia with them comes here on the weekends to do their laundry, buy their groceries, and cook their food for the week."

"It's seriously without fail, you will always see old Asian people running around this apartment complex every weekend. That's what they do. They don't teach their kids to fend for themselves..."

"Hi. In America we do not talk on our cell phones in the library...I'll be typing away furiously, blah blah blah, and then all of the sudden, when I'm about to, like, reach an epiphany, over here from somewhere, OOH Ching chong ling long ting tong? OHH'".

She concludes by saying that "even if you're not Asian you really shouldn't be on your cell phone in the library." How diplomatic.Meanwhile, Robert Naples, associate vice chancellor and dean of students confirmed that the person in the video is Alexandra Wallace and that she is a student at UCLA.

Naples called the video 'beyond distasteful', saying that her comments in no way represent the views of the UCLA as a community.

He said he had personally received more than 1! 00 e-mai ls of complaint from individuals all over the country, adding that UCLA has yet to get in contact with Wallace, but hopes to meet with her as soon as possible to determine the appropriate response.

The original video was taken down, but other copies of the video have been posted under different accounts.

Wallace released the following statement to the college's paper, The Daily Bruin: "Clearly the original video posted by me was inappropriate. I cannot explain what possessed me to approach the subject as I did, and if I could undo it, I would."

"Id like to offer my apology to the entire UCLA campus. For those who cannot find it within them to accept my apology, I understand."
