I don't hate them, either onebullet...but I do hate what they're doing to our communities. Shoot, my hairdresser is a Hmong and the best darned hair-cutter I've ever had. Sweet gal...don't even think of her as a Hmong, to be honest. I'll respect any hard-working, decent, clean, honest person blending into the community no matter who they are.

We sponsered a Hmong family in our church. I donated just as much as anyone, we gave them a home to live in, etc. That was ten years ago. They still don't work, they still get our assistance, they have 16 kids, they still don't speak English and never once did they show any sign of gratitude of any kind. Doesn't seem right to me; we gave with our hearts as well as our pocketbooks. All we wanted was a little kindness and respect in return. All is see is contempt and loathing.

It IS sad, Elkin.
