I see a future NET racist in the making. She would surely be embraced by the Dave's community as their new queen.

Self-identified UCLA student Alexandra Wallace has gained national notoriety -- and more than 1,000,000 views -- 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, 'OHH Ching chong ling long ting tong? OHH'

Cause NETs on Dave's are always spouting racist nonsense like "ching chong ching."

Where's YOUR bias coming from?

I have met some NETs in Korea that say slightly racist things about Koreans. I don't think they are racists, or they intend to be racist. It's more they are embittered by life in Korea and their complaints tend to be misguided generalisations about Korean people.
However, there are some Asian foreigners that seem to have a chip on their shoulder about white people. I guess they had to go through the same racist BS in their home countries, and they enjoy the shoe being on the other foot, so to speak.
I had to go through it, but I don't spend my time trying to get back at the white man.

Some dudes do have a sense of entitlement that's for sure, but that soon gets knocked out of them after a few months here!

I will be labeled as a racist and what not, but don't really care.
The truth of the matter is that most minorities in the U.S. don't like white people. Especially children of immigrants.

I don't know if white people are really aware of this or not. But just because Jorge smiles and waves at you everyday doesn't mean that he's not muttering "pinche guero" under his breath.

I'm all in favor of having an honest racial discourse in America. The thing is that everyone is such a big *beep* that no one can say anything.

I'm Asian and it's annoying what that girl said, but it's more annoying because of how retarded she is. Let her say what she wants. She completely destroyed her life by doing so. No need to give her death threats or get her kicked out of school. Her speech isn't hate speech that will put anyone in danger but herself.

She was just too stupid to realize the consequences of her actions. I'm sure a lot of people, including other minorities, harbor the same feelings towards Asians. There are TONS of people on this board who harbor the same resentments as this Alexandra girl does. People try to disguise this resentment by justifying their judgments with other criteria. Face it, some groups just annoy you.

White people are in a weird position where they cannot say anything about anyone. So they have no practice. By the time they actually work up the nerve to say anything, it comes out all retarded, case in point: Alexandra Wallace (nevermind that she is a complete dumbass, and I'm ashamed that I went to the same school as her).

The only refuge that white people have nowadays is to label things as racist. And that's the ONLY position they can take on race these days, but this is quite annoying too. The loudest voices on racism nowadays are these white hipsters who just claim everything is racist. Every comment on the Huffington post is a white person calling another person a racist even when the article in question is about food.

But I'm all in favor of white people being able to say as much as other people as long as its not hate speech that is going to put anyone's health/safety in danger (which I would say for anyone else anyway). This is the only way to ameliorate racial tension in America.

But we still have all this racial tension, because, again, everyone is a gigantic *beep*. It's also appalling how "appalled" people get by this girl. Why are we even surprised? We're all f'ing racist. 99% of Americans if they encounter a homeless black guy walking towards them is going to think that the guy might do something even if it's for a split second.

Let's have an honest discourse on race for once in our lives!

in defense of whitey in america. a lot a-holes can be confused with being racist, when in fact, they are just a-holes which is kind of what you're saying.

if you're a minority and a white person is rude to you, you think in the back of your head "what a racist " customer service is a good example. if the person over the counter is a white person and they are rude and unhelpful, you think it's because you're a minority, but they're probably the same way towards everyone.

side story: you guys tell me if this was racist... my asian friend and i went to a viet restaurant based on a recommendation on dave's. it was crap. my friend asked "what is it a white dude that recommended it because they don't know what good asian food should taste like." you probably get a lot of this type of thinking with other minority groups like mexicans, indians, etc.
