Pix joins Diana and Jess to contextualize the LA Riots and their relationship to today's protests against police brutality. In 1992, the media co-opted images of one immigrant community enacting destruction on another immigrant community to foment a Black-Asian conflict narrative. Today, liberals and conservatives both are using the image of K-town storeowners, "Rooftop Koreans," as symbols to push false, divisive narratives, and deflect from the real issues. We take a deep dive into why the mainstream memory bears so little resemblance to what really happened.
