No love lost between Asians and Blacks due to the riot. There’s no ‘love’ between them.
Blacks view Asians with contempt, not because of envy. “Colored” people who don’t follow their victimhood-logy.
I agree about the contempt of Asians by many inner-city blacks towards Asians, but I think envy does play a role. The fact is, that virtually every immigrant group that you can think of seems to enjoy more success than Black Americans who feel ‘trapped’ at the bottom. Since their plight can’t be “their fault”, other factors must be found to explain the newcomers’ success. I believe the prevailing theory is that the Asians get secret benefits from the government to start businesses.
Add to this the fact that Asian culture puts a high value on things like family loyalty, hard work and education. This means that the employees of Asain-owned businesses tend to be family members who aren’t likely to steal from the store they work at. So inner-city blacks who do want to work aren’t likely to be hired at an Asian-owned store.
And after years of hard work eking out a living selling things in an inner city war zone—bars on the windows, perhaps a bullet-proof cage for the cashier, etc. etc., I imagine the Asian owners come to have contempt for many of their customers. This contempt is noticed and resented and repaid when riot time happens.
They also view Hispanics with contempt.
