Fighting Racism, One Ringtone at a Time

Alexandra Wallace is the former UCLA student who made an amazingly insensitive and unwise YouTube video about Asian students one day after the earthquake in Japan.

She realized her mistake within hours, and took her video off YouTube, but it was too late. Others reposted it and it went viral. UCLA's Chancellor made a video condemning Ms. Wallace's actions. Campus security recommended that she take her final exams at a specially-arranged place and time. Ms. Wallace apologized through the campus newspaper, and has reportedly dropped out of school.

Many have responded to the offending video. One of the most entertaining is by 23-year-old actor and songwriter Jimmy Wong, whose song "Asians in the Library" is on iTunes and is also available as a ringtone.

This is his YouTube video, which has nearly 3 million hits.
