I think the problem here is that there is a not just a general frustration in the expansion of Koreans and Korean businesses in Centreville, Annandale, and basically all over northern VA, but a frustration of their lack of acceptance to the community around them.
Some people spit out nasty racist comments while others feel that have to defend them because of said racist comments. However, there is a pink elephant in the room with all this: Overall Korean culture, their racist and shady business dealings.
Ive lived in the area for over 20 years and saw the change. As someone who is not white, I've noticed the disrespect the Korean community has shown to me, simply because of the color of my skin. I'm a law abiding citizen but I have been accused of stealing (upon entering) a dollar store in the Centreville shopping center by the Korean owners. I never had time to even see what they sold, I literally walked in, said hello, next thing I know they're yelling at me and taking my license plate number. I never touched a thing!
I was also informed that a similar situation happened to a POLICE OFFICER at a Korean own Deli at one of our major hospitals in our area (yes, the owner accused a police officer of stealing).
I have been dismissed, talked down to and even scammed in this area while watching my White counterparts have their feet kissed by the very same Koreans.
They are the biggest racists of any group I have seen. They don't talk to you unless you are Korean or white. They hide in their homes and run underground gambling and sex trafficking rings (My neighborhood has found 2 instances thus far and we're a high class area including the beloved SPA WORLD being under investigation in 2014).
They don't buy car insurance but will run red lights, run stop signs and even drive on the wrong side of the road to cut you off. When they do get into car accidents, they will hire their cousin or uncle in Annandale to represent them and then sue you for personal injuries they did not sustain. Then, they will get their other cousin or aunt or whoever to make up chiropractic massage bills to present to the court indicating the "treatments" they have had for their false injuries. Need I not mention the "Me no English" card they love to play VERY WELL when they want to, in order to get out legal situations.
Lastly, most of their business establishments encounter numerous health code violations. So many Korean owned places have mysteriously gone out of business or have been "closed for construction" indefinitely for the past 4 years. Additionally, I have had my credit card number stolen from Korean grocery stores and Korean businesses than any other establishment in the area.
Ive done my best to be accepting, tolerant and open to these businesses as well as their culture but in return I have experienced racism, prejudice and scams run by these people.
Yes the comments on this thread are racist but I cam assure you that they come from the frustrations of people from all walks of life being excluded out of their local community because they are not "Korean" or "White."
So how to deal with this? Don't buy from their stores, don't shop in their shopping centers. If I'm going to be insignificant to them because I'm not a blonde hair blue-eye white person or Korean, I will continue to support other mom and pop businesses owned by other races around the world looking to educate people about their culture (Like Indian, Arab, Greek, Japanese, Vietnamese, Hispanic, Ethiopian etc.) instead of feeling like an outcast in my own neighborhood because I'm not one of them.
