The Hmong New Year is a our time to celebrate our culture and welcome in the new year with our ancestors but this year has been a huge struggle for us. Thank you, @JoeBiden, for recognizing the Hmong community and the struggles we have to encounter during this pandemic.
Jill and I send our best wishes to everyone celebrating the Hmong New Year. Things look a little different this year, but we hope your festivities are safe and joyous as you mark the possibilities of new beginnings. Nyob Zoo Xyoo Tshiab!
@sports_fan1212@JoeBiden The Hmong New Year is more than just festivities and social events. There are spiritual practices that happen behind the scene as well. This is as big of an event to us as Thanksgiving/Christmas is to you. Doesn’t mean that one is more important than the other.
Day 2 of racial profiling: walking into @Starbucks and they automatically say your name.
Me: wow, that’s great.
(Looks around shop and no Asians around.)
White girl walks in and is asked her name 😑

Dear @realdonaldtrump,
When you blame a virus on an entire race of people, you turn people against them. When you make these unscientific political statements, some of your followers begin to act violently and in exclusionary, xenophobic ways against these people. Do better.
The U.S asked the Hmongs for help in the Vietnam War, then after they lost, they cleaned house and left us for dead to fend for ourselves. And now they plan to deport us back to Laos.
Advocates warn that a Trump administration proposal to deport thousands of Hmong and Lao Americans back to Laos could be detrimental to families in Minnesota. (@MPRnews)

The deportations would target Hmong residents with a green card, as well as those who have committed a felony, according to the Hmong American Center in Wausau. https://t.co/EH7QRmJQ9A

Stopping in @McDonalds in Greenland, NH. Manager grabs a Chinese employee to take our order. And my sister tells them, “We’re not Chinese but we speak English perfectly fine.” The manager had the audacity to say, “We just like to have someone to help us.”
