Korean-American Church sues White-American Church for Racism
seonghuhn | February 7, 2008 8:22 AMChristianity Today has an article about a Korean-American church suing a mostly White-American church for racism.
It is not clear what happened. The Korean-American church offered $1 million to buy a church which ended up selling to another church for $500,000. The Korean-American church claims they negotiated for over three months but the selling church claims no legitimate offer was made.
It may have been an issue of language but I am sad to say it probably was racism. Some white suburbs don’t like the idea of a large Korean-American church in their community, with all the crazy early morning prayers, evening revivals, and kimchee feasts.
The courts will have the final say.
Church v. Church
Korean American congregation alleges racial discrimination in church property sale.

That is so nutty. You know, it takes a special kind of racism to forgo half a million dollars. I wonder if there wasn’t some other factor at work.
