Koreans dominate small businesses such as grocery stores and dry cleaners. According to the reading, Koreans also exploit laborers of other ethnicities, such as Mexicans and Ecuadoreans. Such action, while it might benefit the owners, abuse the rights of the laborers and displace Korean employees. This might lead to the conclusion that Korean store owners should either not employ not so many other-ethnicity workers or give them better treatment. However, the laborers are still working, however unfair, and the Korean store owners are not willing to sacrifice their profits to better treat their workers. How can this unjust situation be “corrected”- benefit all the people involved- in a capitalist society where exploitation of workers are the norm? Is it even possible?
