A Message To Asian Moms & Asian Students In UCLA

From A UCLA Student

An American teenage girl by the name Alexandra Wallace studying in UCLA expressed her thoughts and feelings about an incident in the UCLA library and she's relating the situation to how Asian Moms raise their children.

According to her, these hordes of asian people that UCLA accepts every year should use American Manners. Well, it used to bug her before but since she is surronded with Asian people in the place where she lives, she's kind of saying that she's used to the situation already.

She's freakin' out because Asian moms do not teach their children manners like the American Manners and she doesn't like it at all. So, she finally decided to position herself in front of the camera and began to deliver her message to the Hordes of Asian People that comes to the U.S. and study in UCLA.

She's sending her message to :

• Asian moms to teach their children to use Manners.
• She also sends a message to Asian moms to teach their children to fend themselves.
• To Asian Students, if you come to UCLA, use American Manners. Don't talk CHING-CHANG-LING-LONG-TING-TONG so loud in the library.
• To Japanese students, with families being affected by the tragedy in Japan, if you're gonna call from your address book, you might as well go outside because if something is wrong you might really forget you are in the library and everybody is quite.

This free speech sends an aroma of racism and is deeply offensive to the whole Asian community most especially to these most sensitive moments where the world is mourning for the tragedy not only in Japan but also in China & New Zealand where thousands of people have been dead caused by a natural calamity.

This is not the right time for ranting and throwing hurtful words to one another. The world is in limbo and all we should be capable of doing is to pray and be nice to each other. We are all humans and we have no idea when will be the time for us to go. Every minute of our lives is so precious so we should not waste it by being rude and mean. We have no idea what every minute awaits for us. Come to think of all those accidents, earthquakes and tsunami. Did all those victim know that they're gonna be dead on their next second?

So let us all stop being boastful, proud and hurtful. Be humble and nice to everyone.

It is so nice to be nice. Being nice costs nothing but it gives so much.

Allexandra's Speech

"So we know that I'm not the most politically correct person, so don't take this offensively..."

"If you're going to come to UCLA, then use American manners."

"Seriously, without fail, you will always see old Asian people running around this apartment complex every weekend. That's what they do -- they don't teach their kids to fend for themselves."

"You know what they don't also teach them? Is their manners. Which brings me to my next point: Hi. In America, we do not talk on our cell phones in the library! I swear, every five minutes I will be -- OK, not five minutes, say like, 15 minutes -- I'll be like deep into my studying, into my political-science theories and arguments and all that stuff, getting it all down, like typing away furiously, blah blah blah... and then all of a sudden, when I'm about to like, reach an epiphany -- over here from somewhere, 'OHHH! CHING CHONG LING LONG TING TONG? OHHH!'

"So being the polite nice American girl that my momma raised me to be, I kind of just gave him ... 'It's the library, like we're trying to study, thanks!' And then it's the same thing five minutes later. But it's somebody else, you know? I swear they're going through their whole families, just checking on everybody from the tsunami thing. ... Like, you seriously should go outside if you're going to do that."
