Koreans
Dan,
I suspect what you are sensing/seeing is not hostility but simply the
uneasiness of people who are not yet sure they belong, thus they tend to
settle in areas with others from their own country and view those outside
their tight-nit communities as potential "hostiles." This is not unique to
the Koreans. It was true of the Italians, the Irish, the Chinese and all
other immigrants to the U.S. during their first generation or so. In other
words, they are strangers in a strange land and are uncomfortable outside
their own peer group. This takes time to get over.
