A fair percentage of Hmongs have had a tough time making the leap from their
fairly primitive life back home...to modern life in the USA.
When my brother was at grad school at the U. Minnesota, he mentioned that a
police officer got sort of "honorable mention" because he'd managed to kill
two Hmong bad-boys with a single blast from his shotgun.
(IIRC, they had long police records).
Think of a really primitive African tribe. The Hmong are the Laotian equivalent. They are isolated highland hillbillies. Probably very inbred since they are clan centered and engage in polygamy. Even here though it's outlawed. It's a mistake to keep bring them in here. It's insanity.
