actually, most koreans see their competition as other koreans, not the
"white man".
i was doing some business for awhile with an SAT hogwon in LA. it was
mostly korean students and most of the parents owned small businesses.
the parents were unbelievably competitive with each other. they always
talked about what private school they were sending their children
(harvard-westlake was the popular one).
we even had a lot of parents come in asking who the other kids are in
the SAT class that their child was enrolled in. after we tell them,
they would ask if any of those kids go to public school...because they
didn't want their private school attending child to associate with the
public school kids. you know, they all heard stories about so-and-so
who met a public school kid and now she's pregnant and dropped out, etc.
