Why are there so many ethnic banks for Korean and Chinese Americans, but not for other Asian American groups?

Who is the original "Liu Ruyan"? Did she have any beef with a famous author or something?

The female character "Liu Ruyan" appears in many stories, manhuas and audiobooks as a greedy/vicious/negative person. So I just wonder whether there is a background story behind it. Was there a female person with that name and did she somehow upset a famous author? Or why is there a trend to call female characters "Liu Ruyan"?

There are some Americans or Russians who work as street vendors in cities like TPHCM, Nha Trang or Phan Thiet. Do local people view them as competitors? Or do they welcome them?
