The 'Roof Koreans' meme refers to a series of photographs and videos of Korean-American business owners defending their properties from rooftops during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. Since appearing online, these images have evolved into a symbol of self-reliance, community protection, and the ultimate 'high ground' advantage. In internet culture, the meme is frequently used to represent preparedness against chaos or as a humorous deterrent against unwanted intruders. Whether used in a political context regarding property rights or simply as a nostalgic nod to historical events, the Roof Korean has become a permanent fixture in the pantheon of internet archetypes representing defiant resilience and tactical readiness.
