You people who are rude, uneducated and clueless, learn to can your mean comments sometimes.
For those who went to the funeral, or have been watching and paying attention to some of the family's speeches on the live internet feed, GVP had two brothers who passed away. He took in his brothers' orphans and raised them as his own. He had 18 sons and 7 daughters, which includes the nephews and nieces he raised as his own as well. From my personal knowledge he only had four wives, two surviving one. The one that received the american flag at the opening ceremony, the one you see with him at new years and parties in recent years, is the last wife he married. He married all of his wives back in Laos and gave them all equal shared time being out in the public with him. Sometimes you would see him with two of them out at a public event. I heard talks from other families, that he married a Laotian woman too but she left the marriage and family when they came to the States? I have never seen the Laotian wife, if indeed he married her.
Blonde hair, pale skin could be due to a recessive gene. And in some hmong families with both parents being dark haired/dark eyes, one or two children may be born with with blonde hair, pale skin and light colored eyes, even blue eyes. Yes, some asians can be born with ALBINISM where they lack skin color pigmentation, this is not just with Asians but with African Americans/black people have been recorded to have been born with the gene disorder too.
Furthermore, retrace back any of your family history, I bet your great-great-grandfather or someone in your family practiced polygamy, it was part of the culture. Some caucasian Mormon families still practice polygamy today. My own paternal grandpa married two wives. I don't think I could allow my husband to marry a second wife, or me marry a man to become his 2nd or 3rd wife while he's still married to the 1st wife though. My heart is not that big. But I respect those hmong women who can make it work, and my two grandmas who are able to live in harmony with my grandpa.
