It’s odd but no so odd at the same time. By now, many people expect to walk into a beauty supply store and see a Korean store owner manning the register. Whether you’re in the suburbs of Houston or on MLK Blvd in
Anytown, USA, you know what to expect. And yet, walking down a street in a Black neighborhood with Black residents and Black customers buzzing about the retail shops, that image of the few Koreans in the neighborhood only existing behind the cash register of liquor, beauty supply and other retail shops is still perplexing.

The racism in the question is astounding
And the fact the question has to be asked is pure idiocy.
A lot of Koreans are hard-working entrepreneurs who put in long hours to live the American dream. And mostly they’re here legally. More power to them.
Because they want to- it is a free country.
Next question.
The comments under that article are as interesting as the article itself.
Could be because they worked hard, saved their money and took a risk to try to better them selves.
Unbelievable. If one were trying to instigate racial violence against Koreans, I could not think of a better way to do it than to publish an overtly inflammatory and racist piece of yellow journalism like this.
That’s about as civil as I can be, and it’s probably best I stop right here...
Thank a leftist for consequences that are 180 degrees from what was espoused.

Because there’s a market and they were able to see that and fill it.
here in L.A., it’s the same old issue. The Koreans were the only ones willing to head into black/mixed neighborhoods and ply their trades but due to racist dunderheads, they packed and left.
I agree 100%. Same Old Same Old!
The reason these people own the businesses is because they came here, started a business, and took advantage of a needed market. I mean, it’s not like they took jobs from anyone, rather, they created them. I hope to God that nothing happens to these business owners.
Interesting how over flowing the racism is in the comment section.
I wonder, if these people use the ghetto as a starting base and then move up and somewhere else, into better communities to ply their business. Which is what all immigrants do.
Folks who have to eat dogs, that's who.
Simple answer Korean extended families pool their resources to create businesses.
Black single mothers live off of the government dole.
One group creates businesses and the other buys from them.
And yet liberals cannot figure this out.
True, but as a capitalist, one must also take into account markets that are under-served. Ergo, the “poor” areas.
They like to make money,
