    Ehhh, I don’t think it’s helpful to take swipes at the Koreans either. While I don’t have much sympathy for petit bourgeoisie using force to defend their property, a targeted campaign of violence based on ethnicity is not good even when carried out by an oppressed ethnicity. Besides, the complete withdrawal of the LAPD from areas where many Koreans lived points to a conscious plan or desire to let minorities fight it out so they can’t unite against white supremacy.

    I’m not saying the original Korean store owner was not a racist and a bad person or whatever, just that we should not celebrate factionalism.
