"Vang Pao's passing may be a time for mourning for the Hmong community in the US, but in Washington, Bangkok and Vientiane there will likely be quiet sighs of relief. Vang Pao epitomized and sustained the hostilities of the Cold War that many in the region are keen to bury in order to move ahead with trade-promoting economic integration. But Vang Pao's memory will live on in Hmong communities in the US and among the small pocket of fighters still perpetuating his struggle in mountainous hinterlands in Laos."

If something good can be rewarded to a fellow Hmigga, shouldn't you be happy to support it regardless of your opinion because it increases the positive stereotype for Hmiggas?

I mean, do you want people to call you an economic refugee, or a Viet, or a typical Hmong wife beater? Or a Chai Vang?

If you allow others to beat-up your fellow Hmiggas, they can and will do the same to you. But if other haiv neeg's fear and respect Hmong people in general, they will treat you much better and not want to fcuk with you.

Just a thought.
