Alexandra Wallace just learned the power of the Internet and that some things are better off not being recorded. A student at UCLA, Wallace recently posted a video on YouTube of her complaining about Asian students in the library who were calling people in Japan after the tsunami.
"I swear they're going through their whole phone book, checking on everybody with this tsunami thing," she says on the video, and then goes on mocking their accents and criticizing them for their lack of "American manners."
After the video went viral, Wallace apologized, according to ABC News.
"Clearly the original video posted by me was inappropriate," she said in a statement. "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."
UCLA school officials are now reviewing if any campus policies were broken and will then decide if any punishment would be appropriate.
A school spokesperson released the following statement:
"We've seen the video and it includes comments that we find offensive. They are contrary to the values of UCLA."

+25It goes agaisnt her 1st amendment, but not only was this video really offensive, it was really stupid. Just for this video for judging people she will have thousands maybe millions of people judging her for being a idiot.
but she really is a moron for posting the rant on youtube. i guess she had a dumb blonde moment.
As for 1st Amdendment - read the Constitution people - it doesn't say you can say whatever you feel like, whenever you feel like and damn it to hell to everyone else. It was CLEARLY stated and intended to protect POLITICAL speech - not every speech everywhere. Unfortunately it has been twisted to make it appear that way. Everyone has to learn at some point - if you exercise your mouth, there's a good chance it's going to get slapped shut ; )
I actually have a pocket edition of the Constitution that was given to me, as I am a history buff lol I know, nerdy, but whatever = D
The World has gone CRAZY! She was more than polite to what she had to put up with.
And watch the Movie Blue Hawaii with Elvis Presley, His mother is always calling the Asian Butler ping pong ching chang chong! Get OVER IT!
On the flip side, this could give Asians to break out of the mold that tells them they're supposed to be weak nerds and beat this girl up and rip out her fake boobs. That would be entertaining.
