Her name is Alexandra Wallace (who apparently goes by "Allie" when she bikini models), and the third-year UCLA political science student is in all kinds of trouble for her YouTube video this week (watch down below) that mocks the way Asians talk.
In the video, she also criticizes Japanese students for trying to call Japan from the school library to check in on relatives in the wake of the terrible earthquake and tsunami (or as Wallace refers to it, "the whole tsunami thing"). For good measure, she blasts the students for being "these hordes of Asian people" whom, she says, UCLA shouldn't have accepted for admission in such large numbers in the first place! (Link to full story at bottom).
Methinks "Allie" might just want to stick to the modeling gig, because she doesn't appear to have a lot going for herself upstairs except for those mammalian protruberances she exhibits in her modeling pics (which pair, truth be told, ain't all that great either – although her YouTube video looks like she has recently artificially enhanced -- look out you don't get attacked by a snake). Check out some more from the zany rant that this nuclear chemist stuck on YouTube:
"I'll be in, like, deep into my studying, into my political science theories and arguments and all that stuff, getting it all down, like, typing away furiously, blah, blah, blah, and then all of a sudden, when I'm about to, like, reach an epiphany, overhear from somewhere, 'Oh ching chong ling long ting tong, ooohh!' "
Somehow I find it hard to believe that this NASA scientist gets too "deep" into much of anything except perhaps KFC 20-piece tubs, given her changed appearance and apparent weight gain on the YouTube video as compared with her modeling photos. She continues on in her rant:
"I swear they're going through their whole families just checking on everybody from the whole tsunami thing. I mean, I know, okay, that sounds horrible, like, I feel bad for all people affected by the tsunami, but if you're going to go call your address book, you might as well go outside, because if something is wrong, you might really freak out if you're in the library and everybody is quiet."
You gotta love that last part! If you're going to "freak out" at tragic news, then take it outside, please, because otherwise you're going to disturb my so-called "studying"!
Wallace has reportedly apologized in a statement to the campus newspaper, but has been receiving "numerous death threats." Boy, that's nice. Responding to some harmless ditzy bigot broad by threatening to kill her! Slimeballs.
A few remaining observations: First, of course Wallace's statements are wrong, bigoted, insensitive and inappropriate. But why is this college student national news, whereas when deranged right-winger Rush Slimebaugh recently similarly mocked the way Asians speak, there was nary a protest nationwide?
I guess it's because people (even leftists) think that since Slimebaugh is always saying crazy things, this example from him was just par for the course. Sort of old news, you might say. Well, I think that's pathetic. Wallace is a young college student who did something dumb, has apologized, and is now paying a terrible price for it. In contrast, Slimebaugh reaches millions and millions of people with his silliness. So where's the equal outrage when such a high profile figure as him does this kind of foolishness?
And a final note (because I hate to bash the right-wingers without a little equal time and equal opportunity for our loony leftist 20-percenter friends): I see a quote from the UCLA Chancellor, "Gene D. Block," reacting to Wallace's video by stating, "Like many of you, I recoil when someone invokes the right of free expression to demean other individuals or groups."
Spoken like a true liberal leftist. Where did Wallace ever purport to "invoke the right of free expression" in anything she said? She didn't. And so why is 20-percenter Chancellor even mentioning that topic in the context of this video, unless he's of the common leftist belief that free expression rights really aren't all that important -- just a little pesky thing to be tolerated here and there when the leftists feel like it?
And BTW, there, Chancellor, Wallace had every damn right in the world to say the stuff she said, no matter how stupid it was. Why would you even bring up the First Amendment here? I too "recoil" at the thought -- the thought of someone like you having this young gal's fate in your hands. "Recoil," indeed, Mr. Chancellor.
