CLASH

vigilantes," and blacks in L.A
wore shown as "opportunistic
hoodlums,” although people of
every color participated.
Another part of the problem
is a criminal justice system that
often leaves minorities feeling
cheated. A Korean American
man, Vincent Chin, was killed
several years ago by two whites
in the Midwest, but they wnro
not given prison time.
Even more recently, in L.A ,
a Korean store owner shot and
killed a 15-year-old African
American girl, Latasha Hurlins,
whom the store owner suspect
ed of shoplifting. The two had a
brief struggle before Hurlins put
the money for the item on the
-counter and headed out of the
store She was then shot, but
the store owner, who was
found guilty of manslaughter,
was sentenced to only five
years probation.
"For the Asian American
community, if we're going to
speak out against the; killing of
people like; Vincent Chin." she
said, "we have to speak out
against the killing of people
like; Latasha Harlins."
Economic structures that
block certain neighborhoods
from being u viable part of the
picture add to the cycle of dete
rioration of tin; quality of life
for those living in the inner cit
ies. Cho said.
For example, some store and
supermarket chains refuse to
locate in “high risk" areas be
cause insurance is either too

high or unuvoilahln and thorn is
a lack of potential profit In tow
income areas
An African American audi
ence member said port of the
problem is that Korean Ameri
cans often isolate themselves
and tend to cluster in a commu
nity.
Cho agreed that some Korean
American shop owners are not
respectful to all customers and
a way to begin changing that
anil the inclusiveness is to hire
other minorities.
A shift toward better rela
tions also includes multiracial
education, such as ethnic stud
ies, Cho said
"We must gel beyond the bi
nary oppositions in the framing
of race relations," Cho said
We need to look at where
these stereotypes are coming
from anil why wo think the
things wo do."
