    I don't believe it is. Whites are the only ones who get tagged with discrimination. No-one cares any at all about discrimination when it comes to other races. I am not racist, simply stating fact.

    It would be agains the fair housing laws if the manager choice Korean tenants over tenants of other races. If Koreans are the only ones that seem to be interested in the complex than the manager is doing nothing wrong - although he's is advertising in a newspaper targeted at a certain group of people, that is not a violation of the law.

    There is no law where the advertising must be. Are you going to pay to advertise it elsewhere?

    Because anyone can get the newspaper, anyone can apply. If you want to test the landlord, simply have a bunch of non-Koreans apply and see what happens. I would assume if the manager refuses to interview in English or refuses to give an application to all qualifying applicants there might be a case.

    absolutely you can call about the illegal activity about the apartment complex. But just remember that you must prove the manager is discriminating.

    Where he is advertising is his business. But if an apartment comes available and you show up at the door and fill out an application he must except your application and number it as first come first served. If he put another in your place without running your credit first then he is in violation of not only discrimination but a few other laws. Contact your local housing authority

    It is illegal, when renting apartments, to discriminate against a person because of their race, however it is very difficult to prove that this is the reason one may not get the apartment. (Especially if the building is in Koreatown.) The real question is do you want to live in a building where they discriminate against your race or any other race for that matter?

    Sounds like a question for an attorney.
