Some Korean Americans felt that they were victimized twice because  

Question

Contextualizing the question helps: the idea of feeling victimized twice refers to how Korean Americans experienced blame and stereotype during and after the 1992 Los Angeles riots. 
Option 1 suggests blame by the LA business community for not being able to control the situation. Although some tensions existed between business owners and perceptions of riot management, this option misstates the primary claim of double victimization, which centers on media and political blame rather than a specific blame by the business community for loss of control.
Option 2 claims blame by their own children for entering the wrong business. This is not a recognized or supported aspect of the double victimization narrative; it misattributes generational or familial blame rather than the broader public narrative.
Option 3 asserts they were targeted during the 1992 riots and blamed by American media and politicians for causing racial hostility in urban America, with the media portraying Korean immigrants as foreigners who did not know how to treat black customers with respect. This aligns with historical accounts in which Korean American merchants were portrayed as instigators or symbols of racial tension, even as many Koreans themselves were victims of the violence. The media framing contributed to a perception of Koreans as outsiders and to blame for interracial tension, constituting a double victimization.
Option 4 claims blame by people in Korea for losing face because the riots were televised internationally. While international coverage existed, the dominant analysis of double victimization emphasizes domestic U.S. media and political rhetoric, not Far East observers blaming Koreans for losing face. This makes the option less accurate as a description of the double victimization concept in this context.
In summary, the third option correctly captures the twofold harm: (1) the violence and hostility during the riots, and (2) the way American media and political discourse framed Korean Americans as responsible for racial tensions, portraying them as outsiders who disrespected Black customers. The other options either shift blame to actors less central to the commonly discussed narrative or misstate the nature of the double victimization phenomenon.
