Maxine also, in so many words, called on the rioters to kill the Koreans (whose community and businesses they were trashing).
The riots had nothing to do with Rodney King, and everything to do with being a black pogrom against the newcomers, the Koreans.
Had little if anything to do with the Koreans, other than the obvious hostilities between democratic South Korea and communist North Korea. It was communist revolutionaries who lead the riots.
AND the Koreans got on top of their stores, armed to the teeth, and threatened/ promised to kill anyone who messed with them.
