Mac and Mimis conversation was beautiful I love seeing the Asian and black community connecting I grew up either philipino and Vietnamese ppl in Cleveland and we all got along and I grew up eating pho and Philippino food and my friends got Kenyan and Indian food. Food is the language of community.

[@dnam727]

I remember in the 90s the narrative was that there was a big black-Korean conflict. There definitely was tension in some areas caused by language and cultural barriers, but all over LA there were also many who were like family. During the 92 riots, the community came out to protect my uncle's store on Jefferson. And when I was a teen, Mr. Kim at Liquorama just few blocks down was cool with the whole neighborhood. He would pass out candy to all the kids, who he called "shortys," and wouldn't sell us alcohol anymore without an ID, because he got caught too many times and got fined heavily, haha. Good old days.

[@dathunderman4]

Interesting. Any more stories like this?

[@dnam727]

@@dathunderman4 I got stories all day, but they're for us. You can look up some public stories though, like the Korean Grandpa at the Compton Swap Meet who was selling Eazy and Dre tapes when nobody else wanted to take a chance on them. His son is still in Compton as far as I know and cool with all the locals and rappers. Theres also James Oh who has a liquor store on Florence and Normandie, he's been there forever and shows up at a lot of rallies to this day. Everybody knows him and he was featured in a lot of articles some time back. Just couple publicized stories that tell a different story.

We got into a fight at his house and he tried to kick me out but his mom wouldn't go for it. She made sure i stayed for dinner and took me home. Even use to give him extra cash if i didnt have money for the movies. Im in vegas and its not really any tension like that between blacks and asians. My best friend is asian we 23 plus years in and he's my sons god dad
