Winning

I spent several seconds trying to come up with a witty comment to go along with this post, but I simply cannot. Speaks for itself. Shame.

WESTWOOD, Calif. -- School officials at UCLA are mortified after a student made video slamming Asian students went viral over the weekend.

    • Karen Yosten Oh please. Like that bitch can read. She was probably just giving someone a blowjob anyway.
    • Karen Yosten And you know it wasn't her brains that got her into UCLA either.

      Yeah she could have handled it differently but what's more annoying than being in a place that's reserved for quiet study and being interrupted by someone, anyone talking on a cell phone! Its rude and. Obnoxious no matter what race you are.... People have lost common sense, courtesy and respect for others.
      I'm not saying the girl isn't an idiot. I'm just saying I can see how people being and on their cell phone in the library, or any public place for that matter, can be annoying.

And STILL I have people that don't listen and my lecture and other students' concentration is interrupted by someone that was careless.

    • Karen Yosten Well, I gotta say, if my family was in Japan, I'd probably be trying to get a hold of them too, regardless of where I was.

    • Sarah Alvarado Yosten- I understand that! And yes I probably would be trying to get ahold of them too, but I sure as hell wouldn't share it with the rest of the 'library'.
      Not trying to be insensitive or side with the bimbo....

      I gotta say I do have family and friends in Japan, who are thankfully safe and I agree. I was going nuts trying to get a hold of them. And think there are exceptions to the rule. That was an extreme circumstance. What happened last week isn...'t something that happens every day, and I think should could have tried to be a little more understanding and human about it. Not to mention, the cell phone thing was such a small part of the bigger picture of her rant. She was just flat out racist and there was NO excuse for the things she said. Did she really expect some one to turn around and say,"I'm so sorry, my aunt just died, I didn't mean to interrupt your studying for finals."See More

    • Sarah Alvarado Everyone is categorizing 'asians' as japanese here just because of the quake. We all have things that we can't stand about other cultures and you're lying if you say you don't.

      I agree with portions of everything here. I was mostly shocked at the woman's lack of naivety in her comments. @Alvarado- I agree, it's certainly more than any one specific culture that not only displays obnoxious behavior but just "annoys"... in general. And you're right, everyone is annoyed by something, culturally-biased or not. @Reneh- I agree with the P.C. filters being severely detrimental to honesty and sincerity, but there not only is a time and a place, but there must have been a more effective way to communicate an opinion such as being annoyed by someone talking loudly on a cell phone in a library than what she delivered in this video. @Karen- Troll is a funny word. Always.See More

      the tragedy in Japan=so sad, loved ones panicked and trying to find out info = understandable, idiot trying to capitalize on tragedy and have her 15 minutes of "charlie sheen like" fame = U.S.E.L.E.S.S. (and so not "winning") LOL................ ever notice when a brainless idiot speaks you not only can't make sense of what they are saying, but it is also hard to figure out exactly what the point is, what exactly are they "trying" to be literate about? Maybe she should not have done that after her triple shift at hooters!!!See More

      Last week was a unique situation which has nothing to do with political correctness, it has to do with sensitivity. She herself brought up the tsunami making reference to the tragedy in Japan so she was specifically talking about those Asia...ns and even with that she was still insensitive enough to make those remarks.

      Like Yosten said, if there was a major disaster where my family is and I got a call in the middle of church, God would understand and I would answer the phone.

      She's an idiot.

  1. I have to do homework, so I can't read all of the posts that you guys have written, but I would like to add my two cents. I think that the girl was under a lot of stress. We have all been exactly where she is... during a final...freaking out, and trying to write papers while studying.

    She did say some things that were inappropriate, and extremely insensitive. She doesn't get the Asian culture, and seems very narrow minded, but she was stressing out.

    There's a guy that posted on the KTLA website who had a good point. it's as follows:

    Whatthefock wrote at 8:50 AM March 16, 2011 "What she did was tell the truth. Typical of the media to focus on a slight error on her part...not on the fact that her rights and the rights of all student trying to study or live on campus are being infringed upon by a group...who happen to be Asian and culturally devoid of concern for other peoples rights. Where is her protection from abuse? Why are the Asian so special as to be permitted to move their families on campus every weekend? Why should they be entitled to disturb the library? Her only really offense...being white."

    If she weren't the typical "fake-breasted" blond with the squeaky idiot cheerleader voice, she would probably be taken more seriously. She's going to UCLA...She was in the library studying/writing a paper, so she's not a party girl. She did sound a little dumb in the beginning of her rant, but you can tell that at the end she came to a conclusion that it wasn't because they were Asian.

    She is ignorant, and should learn to be more empathetic towards others needs. Bottom line. We've all said, done, or thought things without thinking them through first, and then later regretted it.
