What’s the deal with this feud by blacks & Asians? Any historical context?

Asians own most of the businesses in the “hood”, exploiting black residents and making sure they have no ownership. Bc banks would lend to Asians and not blacks during redlining

Pinning Asian success on a bank policy and not their widely observed cultural focus on family and hard work is an interesting take
Yup that’s exactly what I am pinning the success of Asian Americans in predominantly black, inner city areas on. Exactly that. Learn some history. Asians are not magical because “hard work and family” lol
You might not like it but it is historically accurate. Without the ability to buy and own the businesses in the first place (or as you put it so nicely “take over”) your warped sense that Asians somehow work harder and have stronger fam values means nothing
