Los Angeles, CA - Korean Grocery Group Sues Former Wal-Mart Executive For Remarks

Los Angeles, CA - A Korean grocers' group is suing former Wal-Mart Executive and U.N. ambassador Andrew Young for libel after Young said that Koreans were "ripping off" blacks.

Young -- who is also a former mayor of Atlanta -- resigned as head of a Wal-Mart advocacy group over his controversial comments.
In the interview, Young says, "First it was the Jews, then it was Koreans and now it's Arabs." That they "ripped off" urban communities for years, "selling us stale bread, and bad meat and wilted vegetables."
"those are the people who have been overcharging us, and they sold out and moved to Florida. I think they've ripped off our communities enough."

The suit filed in a Los Angeles County Superior Court also names Wal-Mart.
The grocers' group is seeking more than $7 million in damages.
