LOS ANGELES - A US student whose "appalling" anti-Asian and anti-Japanese rant went viral on YouTube announced Friday she was quitting college, after receiving death threats.
"I am truly sorry for the hurtful words I said and the pain it caused to anyone who watched the video," she wrote in her letter to the Daily Bruin.
In the YouTube clip she lashed out at the "hordes of Asian people" at UCLA.
Speaking in a fake Asian language - "Ohhhh. Ching chong ling long ting tong" - she chastised them notably for talking on their cellphones in the library.
"In America, we do not talk on our cell phones in the library," she said in the three-minute clip, adding: "If you're gonna come to UCLA, then use American manners."
In the letter to the Daily Bruin, she added, "Accordingly, for personal safety reasons, I have chosen to no longer attend classes at UCLA."
