today i was reading about the LA Riots, and in each instance of "awful group of black men attack innocent passerby", there is a direct follow up of "black men see victim of attack and render immediate aid". but all my life i only heard about the first part, so i agree with your point that even when poor people "do the right thing" in these situations it gets ignored.
Seems like the only times I see the LA riots mentioned these days is when people fantasize about the roof Koreans and the idea of minorities killing each other.
I've seen some Asian diasporans celebrate the Roof Koreans as "finally taking a stand and not letting people push us around anymore" to which I always reply "then why do we not do this when white people push us around?"
The whole thing was a needless tragedy all around and it sucks that people keep trying to glorify it.
The whole reason that meme exists is because the cops abandoned Koreatown to protect Beverly Hills.
Weezer wrote a song about it
