Adventures in Multicultural Living: In wake of infamous YouTube rant by UCLA student, responses display humor, grace

from ACJ Advisory Board Member Frances Kai-Hwa Wang in Ann Arbor.com:

I did not want to write about now-infamous UCLA student Alexandra Wallace and her ignorant racist YouTube rant complaining about Asian American families, manners and Asians talking on their cellphones in the library during “the tsunami thing,” complete with mocking ching-chong nonsense. I found her young and dumb and hoped that it would all blow over and she would be forgotten.

No such luck. The story is all over The New York Times, National Public Radio and MSNBC. Asian American students at the University of Michigan and across the country are discussing it.
