What is the trial with an asian couple owning a laundromat vs some other guy?

I remember, the asian couple (Korean, I think) owned a laundry place. They were sued, and the man kept suing them over and over until they lost a lot of money.What is the trial with an asian couple owning a laundromat vs some other guy?
I would assume that the verdict will be against that Asian couple. They will lose everything they own and be in debt for the rest of their lives whether they are at fault or not. Asians have even less right than slaves or animals. In The US when a person see an animal being abused he'she would feel bad about it (as every normal person should). However, when a person see an Asian man being robbed or murder his/her typical reaction would be indifferent at best and joining in the mayhem at worst.
