From the LA Daily News, 3/18/11 (excerpt):A UCLA student whose anti-Asian rant on YouTube made national headlines announced today that she plans to leave the university. In an apology letter sent to the Daily Bruin, the campus newspaper, Alexandra Wallace wrote that the video has led to "the harassment of my family, the publishing of my personal information, death threats and being ostracized from an entire community." ... Wallace sent the letter on the same day the university announced it would not be taking any disciplinary action against her.
In her letter to the Daily Bruin, Wallace said she was trying "to produce a humorous YouTube video," but she instead "offended the UCLA community and the entire Asian culture." "I am truly sorry for the hurtful words I said and the pain it caused to anyone who watched the video," she wrote. "Especially in the wake of the ongoing disaster in Japan, I would do anything to take back my insensitive words. I could write apology letters all day and night, but I know they wouldn't erase the video from your memory, nor would they act to reverse my inappropriate action."

As noted in a prior post on this blog that excerpted an article from the Sacramento Bee, this affair apparently began with a plan to start some kind of a blog/enterprise, possibly with parental involvement or support.

UPDATE: The New York Times carried an editorial against disciplining the student. See http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/18/opinion/18fri2.html Perhaps the Times is now also sorry for jumping the gun. There seemed no likelihood that discipline would be imposed.

Too much pressure or too little force are usually very uncomfortable during a therapeutic gay sizegenetics which may lead to more damage than good. Also when making a booking on the erotic male sizegenetics be sure you fail to book a masseur who is very heavy handed. Someone who is heavy handed may totally ruin the sizegenetics experience. A therapeutic gay sizegenetics, if not done properly, can also affect and cause injury. Also an area that is sore will become inflamed thanks to the repeated rubbing and stroking. Take your time when researching concerning different categories of therapeutic gay sizegenetics methods and techniques.
