No. The asian shops were targetted, just like in the LA riots. These are hardly rich, but the shopkeepers represented "model" citizens and what the ideal migrant looks like. The looters represent the reverse.

What do you mean 'no'? The reasons for a bunch of ignorant kids looting doesn't have to reflect their actions. If they could realise who they're hurting they wouldn't be ignorant kids now, would they?

The rich don't open tiny shops down town. The people who got looted were the hardworking poor.
