4/30, Question on the Reading

I thought it was surprising that, in the article, a focus was on Koreans reserving managerial positions for Koreans only, but were happy to have Hispanics doing lower level work. Generally when one thinks of racism/discrimination, one thinks whites are usually the oppressing side. In this case, we see an immigrant group oppressing another. This kind of makes me think of the cycle of bullying, where people who are bullied can become bullies themselves. Is it possible that the Koreans mentioned in this article behave in such a way because they were discriminated against or used for another immigrant/ethnic group’s interests? If so, what group(s) could that be?
