본문내용

“Koreans must go!” (100). African Americans shouted in New York according to Helen Zia, a Chinese American author of a book, Asian American Dreams. As Korean Americans came to the United States, they tended to open stores and do business in black neighborhoods. But Korean American people and black people could not get along well with each other since they first met. Opposition between those two groups appeared in many cities in America including two eastern cities, New York and Chicago. Black people did boycotts on Korean-owned stores. Violation sometimes occurred. They damaged the stores and harmed people. Black-Korean antagonism happened in New York from 1988 to 1991 while it arose in Chicago from 1990 to 1994. Even though black-Korean troubles in New York and Chicago were damaging for Korean Americans, those conflicts became the step of developing relationship between Korean and African Americans.
In New York City, hostility happened as a form of boycotting Korean-owned stores by black people. Two boycotts took place.
