Asians

The tensions between the Black and Asian communities first came to the forefront in the 1992 LA riots. Over 2200 Korean businesses were destroyed costing $400 million dollars in damages. Differences in academic performance adds to the hard feelings. Medium household income for Asians is $98,000 and Black households $46,000. Many Asians are first generation immigrants and most Blacks have been here for many years. These race problems are rarely exposed because the news always looks for white privilege. A Korean business is vandalized by Blacks but this doesn't warrant any news coverage. In 2018 there were 182,000 reports of Asian victims and 24% were caused by whites and 28% by Blacks even though the population is 62% white and 12% Black.
