The Sun's not yellow it's chicken

JTEM whining about this & that, plus the secrets of the universe and the occasional chicken recipe.
Oct 5 '12
Ironically, one of the main targets of the LA Riots, back in 1992, were Asian businesses and people.  True, is was primarily Koreans but all Asians were at risk. The issue?  What was seen as exploitation of racial minorities by Asian business owners. “It’s easy to forget how confounding the events of that spring were for Los Angeles. Angry mobs of blacks chose targets by the color of their skin and Asians were not getting a pass, mainly because of tensions surrounding Korean American store owners in the historically African American neighborhoods of South L.A.” There.  Now you may go back to your revisionism.
