I think a better description would be poors vs middle class Asians.

These, mostly old, Chinese heritage people being attacked (even the ones from places like Thailand are from the Chinese minority there) have worked hard and saved money their whole lives so they are now targets for crooks. This is made worse by the fact they haven't moved out of the inner cities like other ethnicities because that's where the local china town is or that's where their business is. They should use their business acumen to bring in regeneration to push the poors out, that'll learn them.
