Die, UCLA Girl? Really?

Threats over Anti-Asian Rant May Force UCLA Student to Skip Exams

Death threats? Are you kidding me? I can understand being pissed off – seething with anger even. But some want her questionably-blonde head on a platter. Come on people. She gave a seriously weak apology (lack of a spokesperson), but most sane people just want her to shut up and maybe go away. Not die.

There’s still Freedom of Speech in this country. It even applies to ranting from a repugnant bleached blonde who looks more like a porn star than a student. The young and dumb speaking is covered, too.

Because of these threats, police arranged for her to take her finals elsewhere. Someone leaked where that location was. Now, they rescheduled her finals. I guess it’s postponement for atonement. Work on a real apology, and start considering out-of-state schools, Alexandra.

If she didn’t receive these threats, I believe that she should have taken her final exams without any special consideration. Facing the music is humbling. She can feel the ramifications of opening her big mouth on YouTube. We’re all responsible for what we say, and she should pay for it.

But not with her life. That should be a given.


UCLA Girl Apologizes from Bunker

UCLA Police Eye Threats over Anti-Asian Video

Looks like the YouTube ranting UCLA Girl received threats and has gone underground. From the bunker of shame, Alexandra Wallace told the campus newspaper, 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. I’d like to offer my apology to the entire UCLA campus. For those who cannot find it within them to accept my apology, I understand.”

She is a poli-sci major, which usually means law school aspirations. Does she have political ambitions? If so, she did pretty well in her apology, considering she has no spokesperson.

My message to Alexandra:

Stay in the bunker for a couple days to think about your next move. I am a UC alumna, so we both know that when the Chancellor has to respond publicly about your screw up, you’re screwed. I’m not sure if you’ll be disciplined, but you’ll see that the infamy itself is quite a burden.

I have many years of experience in observing scandals. In my self-professed expert opinion, you have two options:

1. If you’re looking to milk your 15 minutes of infamy, the modeling photos that surfaced (like the one above) may be your ticket. If you get offers from magazines, choose Playboy. That’s your best bet, and you might get a reality show out of it. I can see it now. VH1: Alexandra Goes to Charm School. Your classmates are all Asian girls. I picture Lucy Liu as the Head Mistress. Start dropping hints to Playboy yourself, or quietly get an agent from the bunker. Remember, the clock is ticking. 14:59, 14:58…

2. If you want to go back to living a normal life, you’ll have to pray that UCLA students have a short memory. If it gets to be too much, you may have to transfer to a college out of state. I suggest dyeing your hair. Maybe even consider changing your name.

Whichever you choose, for God’s sake, stay off YouTube!!
