WHAT YOU SAY

[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.]

OK, damn, this is quite frankly gay as hell!!! Can we talk about LA and not the riots? What are good neighborhoods to live in? (and I mean affordable places and not super millionaire places where average people cannot afford)... What is the food/quality of life like? What are good places to go clubbing? Where are good places to hang out and relax... How about shopping? Are jobs easy to find... and so forth...

Peace all...
Let's talk about LA Tuesday, May 21, 2002 at 09:06:44 (PDT)

Enough pointing fingers!
Everyone just calm down. Because we (when i say we i mean all minorities) are all frustrated with our positons of power within the nation and our community, we start to blame each other. The riots didn't start with the 4 white cops. It's the white people on capitol hill that don't provide for the common people. It's keepin the minorities down that started the riots.

SHARED STRUGGLE!!!
We are all fighting for equality. And to reach that goal we have to work together and not against. We must learn each others' cultures to better understand them as well as ourselves.

First of all, let's talk about the good qualities of L.A and the surrounding areas. I love the food, the weather, the laid back culture...

Second, those thugs robbing stores and being in jejune gangs are gay. Let them commit crime and go to prison and get pounded from behind. Let's continue to make money and live in nice neighborhoods and send OUR children to better schools. PEACE!!!

ABConfu,

I think everyone agrees the "Confu" in your name stands for Confused because you claim that the other Asian ethnic groups got along fine before Koreans?? Since when?? If you weren't so stupid, you would have known that these other ethnic groups all experienced racial hatred and hate crimes throughout Asi-Am history. You being Chinese should know that you idiot. And do you think your wife is the only KA person who is normal? Apparently she is not normal because in her own narrowmindedness, she chooses to bash all KA men as well. Maybe she can become best friends with Amy Tan and bash all Asian males together for all of white America to see.

You just have a feeble mind that gave in to what you see in the media. Any intelligent Asi-Am would know that KAs were the one group that the media could pick on and villify since the media doesn't want to piss off the African-Americans. Think about it, how can all of these stores stay in business for so long before the riots if all KA storeowners were so rude to their customers? If you only knew how many times KA storeowners were shot and killed in south central by disrespectful thugs who only care about the greens, you would also see the countless memorials and candles being left behind by their patrons at the stores. These incidents didn't happen around the time of the riots. There still happening...and don't even think that these people are killed because they are rude. If they were, then why are there so many African-American customers attending the funerals. I'm so sick of seeing good hardworking church-going people being murdered in cold blood by criminals. These incidents never receive national coverage, but the image of gun-toting KA storeowners was all over the place during the riots. That's right...keep blaming the Koreans for the riots and the not the 4 white members of LAPD or the rioters, looters, murderers, etc. In your mind, Koreans are the root cause of all this. That's why you've proven to everyone here that you're an embarrassment all intelligent Asi-Ams.

And don't think that KAs have a monopoly on rudeness. The Chinese storeowner in my neighborhood never says anything to me when she found out I wasn't Chinese. She also hands me my change while looking away. Based on that, am I going to be like you and criticize all Chinese storeowners? You need to read some of these other posts from people who have actually worked in these rough neighborhoods and see that they actually empathize with the KA storeowners situations. This would be more helpful than rushing off to make judgment based on what you see on TV and your stupid wife's thoughts. I bet your wife is glad she didn't marry a KA male because of her own insecurities and inadequacies. I know of many girls like that. So sad.
