rant
There are many things wrong with the youtube video of the UCLA college student's rant on asian people. Many of the comments that were posted on the video are yelling at her calling her racist and ignorant. I don't think the video is racist as much as she is just very close minded. The reason the video seems to be racist to people is because of the way she goes about saying these things. Although some of the things she talks about may be true, her attitude and the way she goes about it give off a bad connotation. What makes the video seem racist is the fact that she sounds like she is making fun of asians, not just complaining. She also makes general statements about them such as how their families don't teach them good manners. She should not be getting as much ridicule as she is, so much so that she felt like she needed to drop out of UCLA. Everyone stereotypes whether we know it and like it or not. The only thing this girl did wrong was she went beyond thinking it in her head and she actually expressed her thoughts out loud on a video and posting it on youtube. Everyone leaving comments on her video making fun of her are no better then her. They are doing the same thing, stereotyping her as a dumb blonde or assuming that she is stupid because her boobs are fake.
