So basically the Koreans let you have it. Damn shame you would think they would not have been opposed to it in the first place.

We had a similar incident in the Bay Area many years back. The temple in Sunnyvale is housed in a street called "Persian drive", probably named after a cat. The Indian community wanted to name the portion in front of the temple to "Mandir drive". The locals protested and the Indians withdrew their request. Check out the implicit racism (regardless of race) in the comments of the community.

Jenna that is great. But keep in mind that some of these East Asians can be racist towards desis. And our differences are inversed in our fastidiousness over personal/social hygeine and culinary hygeine.

“…Korean Community Sam Lee and a representative of the Bangladeshi community Shamim Hussein met in City Councilman Tom LaBongeâ€™s office”

With a last name like LaBong(e) no wonder the Bangladeshis got their wish (tongue firmly in cheek)

I'm an east Asian Californian and I think that creating this Little Bangladesh is great. But there are at least two things that need looking at from this point forward:

Bangladeshi-Korean relations: now that there will be a Bangladeshi district and a Korean district side by side, are business owners and leaders in both communities just going to go on with their separate lives, and occasionally get into conflicts over random issues? Or are they going to take this opportunity to market these two districts as part of a broader Asian area, and reduce potential conflicts between these two groups?
Clarifying the point of naming the area: is it mainly to provide an area for families, to serve as a business district to draw customers to the area, or to serve as a tourist area for culturally curious visitors? Or a mix of these things, or other reasons? Getting Bangladeshi Angeleno leaders to clarify this further would probably help to win over some Korean Angelenos who have been opposed Little Bangladesh.

cool beans – it would have been cooler if Indians had helped the creation of Little Bangladesh. Although that too would be forgotten soon.
