“death threats and because she had been “ostracized from an entire community.”

Well, Alexandra, we are all tolerant and you are not, so you are shunned, ostracized. You should be tolerant and open to all opinions, like us tolerant people!

Ugh, where to start.

There’s so much stupid here, on the part of the school, the girl and the community I think I lost brain cells reading the article.

They should be applauded for defending free speech. She was an idiot but they consider all conservatives idiots as well. If they stop her from talking, they can also stop us.

The biggest danger from them is that they brand her as a tea party conservative.

For the general FYI, here’s a copy of the video someone reposted on youtube:

The Asian supremacist in the comments is funnny.

"Especially in the wake of the ongoing disaster in Japan, I would do anything to take back my insensitive words. I could write apology letters all day and night, but I know they wouldn't erase the video from your memory, nor would they act to reverse my inappropriate action."

Young people in particular really need to think twice about what they post on the internet. I know it sounds like a no-brainer but jeez, nothing good was going to come from posting this rant on-line.

Aside from being humiliated and ostracized from the university, something like this is going to close a lot of doors in her future. It'll never go away. Future employers will google her name, remember this event and say "no thanks."

What an idiot.
The Asian guy’s parody of it that showed up next is pretty good.

I respect Asian culture but this isn't a big deal. In Bizzaro world that we live in, it's a big deal.

I mean how are Asians at UCLA ever supposed to recover from this massive onslaught of reckless and injurious hate from this obviously dangerous and deviously powerful intellect?

Oh, the humanity!

Let’s see. UCLA administrators discriminate viciously against asian students in their admissions process, impairing their careers and earnings capacities for the rest of their lives. The administrators are hailed as deacons of diversity and make $250,000 a year.

Some stupid student makes a three minute video that will have no real effect on anyone except drama queens and she is expelled? Actually, I’m surpised they didn’t send her to a reeducation camp for committing the wrong kind of discrimination against asians.

I hope the death threats are being investigated and those making them are punished to the fullest extent of law.

But we all know that some pigs are more equal than others.

Substitute the word Asian with African and let’s see how this plays out...

Reeducation camp? They didn’t have to ...sounds like she has already been there.

“I would do anything to take back my insensitive words. I could write apology letters all day and night, but I know they wouldn’t erase the video from your memory, nor would they act to reverse my inappropriate action.”

Only thing missing is the blindfold and the firing squad....
