[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course, Koreans are not well known for their tolerance of blacks and Hispanics.  When I lived in Korea, many Koreans would differentiate between Americans and blacks and it is shameful their attitude towards kyopo - mixed race children. I actually had a Korean-American colleague tell a a korean businessman thinking of moving to the U.S. that Fairfax County was a good place to raise a family because "there are very few black people there." [/quote]

A lot of the tension between the two groups also stems from the fact that Korean immigrants come to the US, get business loans and open up businesses in poor, urban areas where the majority of residents are AAs. AAs resent that they often cannot get business loans maybe because of poor credit and newcomers are given loans and become successful business owners. At the same time, the store owners despise customers because of theft and they may be impolite or aggressive. The generational poverty is frustrating and it is difficult to see others come in to your neighborhood and be successful.[/quote]
