A friend of mine went there a few years back and saw a Black chick ordering sticky rice.

The Hmong deli gave her purple sticky rice and she got offended. She felt
it was racist to sell a Black person black/purple rice instead of the white rice. 

She threw it away, I heard.

She thought they mix the rice with grape kool-aid. The grape kool-aid and bbq chicken are stereotypes for Kaydoo. Lol

Oh. That's new to me.

But the idea is the same: racism against Blacks in purple sticky rice.

Of course, the Blacks need to learn that purple rice is natural and that the
Hmong delis at Hmong Town Marketplace some times...ok, they might
have used dyes but there is a natural version of that "black" sticky rice.

I try not to use the word "black" in describing that. I use "blood" sticky rice.

Like Hmong Village, Hmong Town has not changed much since my last visit but seemed like their outdoor section expanded quiet a bit...

And like Hmong Village, I enjoyed the Laotian, Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese food at Hmong Town as always too... O0

The counter clerks must be very young ones these days. I think the older generation has
passed or reduced their hard labor work.
