There's Hmong in Iowa?

[DuMa]

Well the news guy is Hmong

But yeah, white people just don't know

This is why I am hesitant to eating pho being cook by the white man and in a white man restaurant.  It looks like pho, smells like pho but where's my red meat plus other adventurous choice of other exotic meats?  They watering it down due to culture ignorance due to cases like this. 

If I was selling pho to the white market, I'll water things down and not calling it authentic.  I mean, with criticism like these, "others" do not deserve Vietnamese authentic traditional cuisine.  They are not ready for it.

534 Hmong there 11 years ago.  But I'm sure they have had kids since the numbers were gathered years ago.

Dated a girl once whose parents lived in Iowa.  They sent her to live in Cali with her relatives.  Probably more exposure to Hmong peeps that way.

You know why they did that?  She’s a gangster girl.

Iowa History Month: When Southeast Asians came to Iowa


In 1975, Southeast Asians who allied with America against communism faced torture, starvation and murder. The Tai Dam, an ethnic minority, fled persecution in their homelands of Vietnam and Laos. From Thailand they sent a desperate letter asking U.S. governors for asylum.

Iowa Gov. Robert Ray responded by creating a refugee resettlement program that lasted 35 years, and the first Tai Dam arrived that winter.

Most Tai Dam had never heard of Iowa and had false expectations. Based on the brochures they received from immigration officials, some Tai Dam mistakenly assumed they would become sheep farmers.

“When we came here, we did not see any sheep! Just cows and pigs,” recalled an elder named Siang Bachti.

Few refugees had farmed, but many settled in Iowa’s rural areas. Dinh VanLo, then a young man from the large capital of Laos, remembered thinking “Iowa was small potatoes” after relocating to Hull. Some refugees assumed America was a wealthy land without poverty; one group grew disappointed after sponsors resettled them in a poorer section of Des Moines.

The newcomers also learned about Iowa’s brutal winters. On his first day here, Khouang Luong learned how to push a car through the snowy street to get home. Another refugee tried shoveling snow off his rooftop in fear of a cave-in.

Along with Tai Dam, Cambodians, Hmong, Lao and Vietnamese sought better lives in Iowa, but not without controversy. Southeast Asian refugees reminded Iowans of the divisive Vietnam War. Opponents feared refugees would steal jobs and divert resources from needy Iowans.
