The Laotian population contains some Hmong for sure.

Looks that way. I think you are correct in regards to "some Hmong" are counted and added to the Laotian total population...H eck ProudLao may even be Hmong for all we know...

I am in Hmong Land Minnesota so therefore I am lol

There maybe an error reading for the viets and Chinese counts as some viet's can speaks duel languages but not sure which side they would be counted as. 

Some viets that speaks Chinese like my janitor buddy hated the Chinese.  He pled his loyalty to the country that borns him.
