I have seen how Asian shopkeepers are forced to erect Lexan - bulletproof glass - barriers between the goods they stock and those who enter the store to stop theft while in DC.
Customers first order what they want, pay through a revolving window and then recieve their purchase. It makes everyone who shops there feel like a thief but isn't the normal customer's fault the owner needs to keep his shop/stock under lock and key so. Liquor stores are the worst.
Asians who open shop tend to be small people and are a favorite target of those who wish to take what they want. I have never witnessed a theft, just the aftermath, usually an injured elderly person and a closed shop.

He might be one man out of millions, but I can understand how he feels. I understand because I've been treated like a suspect in a gas station before, without having to do anything. I don't like how it feels. I don't care why they are doing it. I care about what happens to me at the end of the day.

Most blacks are not stealing from anyone, so what exactly are you justifying? The mistreatment of an entire group of people based on the actions of a few? How is that fair?

If the locals are so offended, why do they keep giving the Koreans their money.

Better yet, if the Koreans are having such a tough time, why are they still there?

While you are at it, venture out to some metro station entrances and you get to hear some group of blacks yelling on a loud speaker how whites are evil and the Bible says they should all be killed.
My argument is not about the words being used in the real world, my argument is people in the real world using the definition of one being racist and the other being fine for anyone to use.

Does it matter where they take their profits to? It is theirs, no? Are you restricted to where you can go with your money?

Who, specifically, are you speaking of?
I'm from LA so I've experienced this scenario first hand. Before you take sides on something you clearly can't attest to you need to actually open your eyes and get out there. I'm not talking about shop owners that may have been robbed in the past. So there is no need to put up a straw man. I don't need to watch "YT videos" I'm actually out here...

Where I am from, the Bronx, home of hip hop, 'N-er' and 'N-a' have an identical pronunciation.

Why don't they open stores somewhere else then? You know...if their customers are so bad.

Tameika Guest, who is suing the Charleston County School District on behalf of her 12-year-old son, claims the child was intimidated and prevented from learning by the behavior of the other black students at Zucker Middle School. The lawsuit is seeking a jury trial for unspecified compensatory damages due to a violation of the student's civil rights.
Can't say that I blame him.
