But I know why JF won't ask me that question. He wants to focus on the faults of Korean-American community while ignoring the bigger faults of the African-American community. Another "nuance."

Do you have any idea how Koreans treated blacks BEFORE the riots? There is no question that poverty sucks and that providing services to the black community is no fun. Insurance and other administrative costs are higher and you could lose your life. Nonetheless, Koreans in LA chose to do it because it was very profitable for them. Like those before them, they made money hand over fist and they rarely treated their customers well.

If smaller than the black community's faults, the Korean community's faults were definitely glaring. Now when you talk about what's PC and what isn't, that comment most assuredly falls in the unPC side of the ledger. Its much easier and more acceptable to heap all the blame on the black community. But like with everything else, there are two sides to every story.
