What need to be improve:
1. We need to rewrite our history and get the facts straight
2. We need to improve our pronouciation and language barrier (well defined terminology - dictionary wise)
3. We need to support each other on leadership skill through strength and knowledge rather than by clan
that's what a handful of ethnic Hmong historians or otherwise unbiased, credible historians are working and have been. to put the big picture together, it will take more than your lifetime. it will go on for generations, that is if/when the knowledge is passed down, and it keeps the histoirians in this career field going. at the same time, revisions are made in historical political correctness, language, culture, tradition, etc. the main thing are the appropriate resources and sources to acquire.
Well, we should be proud, very proud of our own race, don't you think so? Even if you're an aborigine, you should be proud of yourself.
And as an Asian, South-East Asian people, I'm glad to know more about my neighbors country culture. I don't have any other Hmong friends aside from this AF, so, yes, I'm so agree with Cecilia about her three things especially about rewriting the history and get the facts (maybe because I love history lmao). I'd be so glad if more and more people know about 'our' story. In fact me myself know like nothing about Hmong people lol.
By the way, how did the Hmong people treat the women? What is so wrong about it? Can you guys share with me? 
we are one race, Asian. but, have a richness or variety of ethnicity which we should appreciate. SEA's are from the same area of the food chain. BTW, Hmong ppl treat the women just like many other EA/SEA do since there are many shared values.
I don't like that men are always right and that women has no say to it (but i think this is widespread and use by almost all Asian men, not just Hmong)
yep, men are not always right. they think they do just as much as women do the same.
Somewhat yes I proud and just some things that makes me unproud.
First of all, Hmong girls are getting married at a young age. That really makes me embarrassed. Second of all, Hmong girls don't go for Hmong guys(hahaha, who am I kidding. That's me!) Last, Hmong girls are having kids at such a young age. I know there's alot of other race who does it too. But Hmong people do it alot.
I am proud to be Hmong because we are TRAVELERS! The only reason why we don't have a country is because we Hmong people are travelers! We don't stay in one place. Second, we are unique. Third, our language is awesome. Many people I know wants to learn Hmong But I am somewhat proud.
firstly, marriage at a young age is dated back how long ago? not only that, it teaches or ready the girls to be young women able to cope with the hardships or demands and responsiblity needed at a young age for the circumstances in living conditions then. secondly, not all Hmong girls go for Hmong guys, but not all Hmong girls do not go for Hmong guys. this attitude of yours is venomous to yourself and to your people. you are not kidding anyone, and you are only showing how much of a kid you are, well, at least you seem to be able to find a mirror. last, but not the last, Hmong are having kids at a young age because it coincides with my first point. in the U.S., it's a workaround.
originally, Hmong were not travelers/nomads by your description. we had travlers, yes. but, travlers in trade and commerce or business or scouting or the like. consequently, Hmong became nomadic or strictly tavelers and opportunists during the warring era, just like other nomadic tribes of eastern Asia who wanted to rule all of Asia, overthrow ruling states, and unify Asia as one which resulted in what is now China.
I don't like how women are treated in any traditional society. I know that in Indian culture and hmong culture the women always eat last, even though they are the cooks. I hate it how hmong women are looked as an item. Whenever we have big rituals/dinner, you see the women working so hard, and the men are just there chating, they don't even ask if the women need help. I know they also have their own chores, but it would be great to give the women a helping hand when they're not doing anything. The work are segregate, "that's a woman's job." There's still a saying in hmong "women know nothing." Despite everything, the treatment has gotten better. Women no longer eat last, they eat at the same time but just at different table. I am very disappointed saying this, but I'm not quite sure if I'm proud to be Hmong. I know that every culture has it's up and downs. But Hmong people hasn't created anything or done anything extordinary yet. How has the culture made a difference in the world or what has the culture contributed to the world? I know a lot of people are going to hate me for saying this. I must be really stupid, because I am really clueless. I don't know how I would anwser this if someone where to ask me this. I find myself asking, do they need to do something extordinary or created something good inorder for people to be proud of them? I genuinely like our culture and have a deep appreciation for it; from the weddings to the funerals. But proud? I'm not sure. Probably, I'm just too dumb to see it. I hope someone can convince me.
idk what you mean, but Hmong is actually made up of a matriarchal society for the most part. ex: in a party setting, like a wedding ceremony, men eat first because we have to take in alcohol. and, the food is the same no matter who eats first or last (just make sure there's enough to go around). look, do the women really want to do the men's part and take part in "political" advocacy as well as male roles in negotiating or otherwise? can the women handle it?
And by god, the College gap between Hmong Men and Women, it's just....so....BLEGH....what will become of the Hmong women and the race?
it's not a matter of college gap, it's a matter of placement.
