I was wondering the same thing, when I heard the story and that it was UCLA. Hey, this is GC -- we're a little fraternity/sorority obsessed!

I was fearing that when I saw all of the pink and blue in the background. If she is, I'm sure that there will something mentioned in the Anchora.

We need to reinstate phone booths just so annoying people have somewhere to go with their cell phones.

Sometimes you've gotta fight fire with fire (i.e. meet rude behavior with more rude behavior) - I might have barked, "WOULD YOU CLOSE THE DOOR" loudly as I was slamming the door closed...ha ha ha ha!!!

Oh, I'm just as sure there WON'T be any mention of it. I saw the pink and blue and thought the same thing. Plus, she IS blonde.

I decided to creep on the UCLA DG's Facebook page... didn't see any pictures with her in it.

There are lots of parodies on YouTube by now, but I like this music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWHWWSnxnP8

A UCLA friend (I have one! ) said that during finals week there were students on purpose being loud and obnoxious in the library as backlash to all this. Her personal info was found on the UCLA directory and sent all over the internet, she was being sent death threats, etc. and that's why she left UCLA.

I don't wish that kind of terrible social situation on anyone, but she did bring it upon herself. I doubt she apologized because she suddenly sees Asian students as equals or deserving to go to UCLA, she apologized because she was getting so much heat.

This has brought up some discussion on the other side of LA. I don't feel like there's a lot of racial tension at USC quite as much but maybe because I'm white I don't see it. I hope that things are quieting over at UCLA now too.

Backlash to what? Backlash to a girl who DOESN'T EVEN ATTEND UCLA ANYMORE? What she said was ignorant but two dumbs don't make a smart.

It all happened (video posting, backlash) just prior to and during finals week at UCLA.
