And about me being small minded. *lol* Well you can say what you will. I have a good friend who is half Korean and half Black. She went to the store with me and "translated" and if you knew what they were saying about YOU then I highly doubt you'd keep shopping there. Why shouldn't I dislike people that call us "monkey people" and "animals" when we walk into their stores, but smile at me when I hand them my money?

Is that all Koreans? Every Korean? Do you know them all? Should we treat Koreans like whote folks treat us? I have heard a few Black store owners say the same thing about some of their drunk, rowdy, shoplifting patrons also. I have seen the well-respected Korean shopowners of my favorite steak and shrimp place robbed repeatedly, shot, killed, and finally abandon any attempts at providing a reliable service to the community. But your bias is obvious. You must not know many Jamaicans because they are very appalled by how lazy american born Blacks appear to them. The point is, that a native to the neighborhood or indigenous African American passed on the opportunity to open a store. Again, prejudice and bias are for small-minded people.
