It's a pity. You seem so passionate in bashing the Hmong people when in reality, if only you and everyone else who has the abilities would use half of that bitter energy to encourage these young Hmong children into building futures full of success, the Hmong community wouldn't have so many flaws you endlessly point out. The Hmong females around the ages of 12-13 are still children, it would be great if they had peers and good role models but instead of pitching in a helping hand, you mock them, spit at them, and laugh at them to your amusement. Really, is it that hilarious and satisfying to see these children struggle and follow the wrong path? Everyone makes mistakes and learn from them. No wonder why Blacks have a strong voice in this country. They are united. You see Oprah and other public figures helping out the Black communities while the Hmong culture, everyone is out for themselves, like you. It takes the same amount of time and energy to bash the Hmong culture and educating those in need but it is such a pity that you would rather sink the boat than find a solution.
GVP is not a Prince but I was referring to the Laotian Prince who fled to Europe during the communist attacks. They fled not because they were afraid but what difference does it make if they stayed behind, get killed, and their people will never be saved? Sacrifice is good but sacrificing at the right time is much more beneficial to everyone. The Hmong community and Hmong people will not die without GVP, thanks for the sarcasm. Just because the Hmong people have established a pretty good home base in America, many successful professionals these days, doesn't mean we can forget about our history, our culture, and the sacrifices that have extended our lives here. GVP did do quite a bit for the Hmong people. It's just courtesy to give him respect at the least. You give respect to those authorities above you whether you like it or not, your teachers, bosses, to policemen, I don't see the agony in respecting GVP.
I respect GVP and the other 9 members; they have gained my admiration in that, at least they're loyal and didn't point fingers or rat out others. Without loyalty and trust, there is no need to live in the world.
