"(Ching, Chong) It Means I Love You"

This story is free to read because readers choose to support LAist. If you find value in independent local reporting, make a donation to power our newsroom today.

The name Alexandra Wallace has become synonymous with a number of things in the past couple of weeks: "racists rants," "cleavage shot," "fame whore," and "the power of viral media," among them. The now-former UCLA Poli-Sci major has inspired not just discussion, though, but also response in the same medium she used to share her...thoughts...on multiculturalism in the academic environment: Video.

Among the many video-ed retorts is this gem, which is the musical efforts of Jimmy Wong, an Asian (he's Chinese, Alexandra) man and his song about Alexandra, and his clever riffs on her not-so-clever word choice. Enjoy your video lunch!

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
