Stuff like this happens because Hmong women, for a lack of a better word -- they are stupid, they don't know who their family is. The moment you decide to ditch your family for this thing you call your RIGHT, and be white, it's when you lose. This seems to be the logic of most women these days. It doesn't even have to be force marriage at a young age, even college educated women, you'll still be seeing the same result.
Is it just Hmong parents that are forcing their kids to get married at a young age? Perhaps, and it's probably the only choice they had. Don't think it's just Hmong parents that are troubled, but other parents are also at a loss too if they found out that their son/daughter is sexually active, gay, or just simply out of control. They would go with whatever option that looks good for their family and the other family. Force marriage or not, is that any better than having a sexually active teen hooking up with people and sneaking in the middle of the night? Potentially getting pregnant, exposing to/passing on HIV/AIDs, and etc onto others? Do Hmong women stand a chance of having a bright future, a family of their own having been labeled whore once? Every Hmong parent can't simply yield and let this imperfect law of the land to dictate. It's really a tough call...
And I agree. Stuff that happened decades ago, is pointless to bring up. If it matters, both family involved outta be prosecuted. No winners but bunch of losers. American justice for you? Think again stupid Hmong people...
