UCLA Student's Racist Rant Goes Viral

As UCLA political science major Alexandra Wallace learned very quickly, celebrity can be a dangerous thing.

Like fire it can burn you, has an insatiable appetite and can spread REALLY fast.

Wallace, (pictured left) has quickly rocketed to international fame capped by various Facebook pages calling for her expulsion, different Youtube responses mocking her and even a New York Times article.

In the course of a 3-minute rant posted on Youtube, she manages to complain about Asian students in the UCLA library talking too loudly on their cellphones, make fun of Asian accents, bitch about Asian family members (gasp!) visiting their kids on campus on the weekends and permanently brand herself as a conceited, narrow-minded racist.

If the apparently buxom blonde was seeking fame, she's certainly found it. After receiving death threats "Allie" took her offensive op-ed piece down but it's been re-posted all over the Internet.

My favorite line? Wallace describing herself as the "polite nice girl my mom raised me to be." Great job mom!
