Sounds like a bunch of crap to me. Why would you use a moniker for a social group that people associate with criminals and people who victimize you?!

As for Koreans owning things in poor Black neighboorhoods, in a lot of those places...competition from larger stores and the general economic decline of the community made it harder for the stores to compete and make a decent profit. Anyway, I suspect that the Koreans are simply willing to live with less and are just happy to over here running a business. It will be interesting to see if their children will want to keep running the establishments or if they'll sell them off too.

Drugs are a factor, but hey I grew up in the burbs and I've known White folks that did the same thing..so I don't think that's a racial or culture issue...that's a country wide American one.
