Are these Hmong folks right and can they win?
« on: August 10, 2021, 04:50:15 PM »

Northern California water restrictions prompt accusations of racial profiling of Hmong farmers
Activists say the policies have escalated tension between the Hmong community and officials, pointing to an incident in June, when authorities shot and killed farmer Soobleej Kaub Hawj.

My 2 cents.

It may not be as black and white, no pun intended. We've got to stop speculating and move forward with facts.
