Analyzes the empirical validity of cultural differences, ideological, competition, middleman-minority, & political process theories for explaining black-Korean conflict. Data were drawn from newspaper accounts of boycotts & intergroup violence published 1980-1995 in local papers from a cross-geographic sample of 39 major US cities. The search revealed 40 boycotts distributed across 13 cities & 69 reports of black-Korean violence distributed across 16 cities. The results of two regression models, one using boycotts & the other using intergroup violence as the dependent variable, showed that the boycott model gave credence to a political process explanation for the distribution of boycotting, but showed a complete lack of support for cultural differences, middleman-minority, & competition theories. Conversely, the intergroup violence model did not support political process theories. Although it revealed significant coefficients related to cultural-differences, middleman-minority, & competition theories, they were insufficient to indicate support for any of these explanations. It is concluded that sociological dimensions of economic competition may account for violence but boycotts are better explained by the nature of local political systems. The implications are discussed. 2 Tables, 1 Figure, 25 References. J. Lindroth
