White Bystanders Pressured Korean Woman Not To Report Black Robbers For Crime Because It’s ‘Racist’
Yeonmi Park, a 27-year-old North Korean defector who lived in the United States, switched from a South Korean institution to Columbia University in 2016.
Park mentioned in a Tuesday interview on Joe Rogan’s podcast that she was mugged by three African-American women outside of a Saks Fifth Avenue store in Chicago, but that white bystanders prevented her from reporting the crime because reporting a crime when black people are the perpetrators is “racist.”
The event occurred last summer in the midst of Chicago’s Black Lives Matter riots. Park claimed that police and prosecutors refused to prosecute the thief; nevertheless, public records indicate that one of the robbers, Lecretia Harris, 29, was sentenced to two years in jail for her role in Park’s mugging.
According to Park, white bystanders advised Harris to flee and were rude to her when she attempted to contact the cops. Park was labeled a “racist” by another white witness for attempting to phone 911.

“They were telling me that the color of their skin doesn’t make them a thief and calling a black person a thief is ‘racist.’” Park said to Joe Rogan.
Park was robbed of her wallet by one of the robbers, but she managed to hold on to the thief’s arm. While this was going on, white onlookers were calling Park a “racist” for fighting. The thief punched Park and fled after the struggle.

The police reportedly acquired video evidence of the event and declined to charge all of the perpetrators, according to Chicago Park.
Park and her mother fled North Korea when Yeonmi was only 13 years old, in 2007. She and her mother were sold into slavery after crossing the frozen Yalu River into China. Yeonmi and her mother were sold for less than $300 each.
Yeonmi and her mother eventually made it to South Korea after fleeing to Mongolia with the aid of missionaries and walking through the Gobi Desert.

She wrote her book, “In Order to Live,” in which she detailed the difficulties she had in escaping the Marxist paradise that some of Black Lives Matter’s founding members are attempting to re-create.
