A UCLA student whose viral "Asians in the Library" YouTube video sparked a campus backlash and condemnation from the school's chancellor has received multiple death threats, the Daily Bruin reported.
Alexandra Wallace issued a statement to the campus newspaper on Monday, issuing an apology to the "entire UCLA campus."
"Clearly the original video posted by me was inappropriate," she said in the statement. "I cannot explain what possessed me to approach the subject as I did, and if I could undo it, I would."
In the the video, she suggests that Asians don't have manners and she also mocks students using a derogatory, fake Asian accent.
UCLA spokesman Phil Hampton has said university officials are evaluating whether the student may have violated the school's code of conduct and, if so, what possible discipline she could face.
Chancellor Gene Block's Facebook page was filled with dozens of messages -- many from students and alumni.
Some messages asked Block to expel her. Others suggested sensitivity training and cautioned against death threats and inappropriate behavior.
