UCLA student racist rant


      Here is a famous video clip called “UCLA Student racist rant on Asians in the Library for phoning.” The original video uploaded by UCLA student, Alexandra Wallace. As the title of the clip tells, this video apparently includes the racism toward the Asian people. In this video, she commented that Asian students in the university library irritated her during finals week. The problem here is that all she mentions about Asian is totally stereotype.

       First of all, she mentioned that Asian parents are always visiting their kids on the weekends and doing everything for them, which may be true for some but not every kid is lucky like that. Another thing she mentioned about is about the manners, it is wrong to talk on your phone in the library but she does an imitation of an Asian talking. Her imitation is said to be Mandarin, which offended the Chinese.

       In the end, I think that this was racist toward all Asians and she should have thought of the things she was going to say before she uploaded it on YouTube.
