In you I saw myself. We are no different yet so. We've grown accustom to adapting to a foreign culture where education and opportunities are but we are considered the foreigner. At home, our family remain Hmong. When we speak Hmong our tongues are heavy with accent. One must listen carefully to know what we are saying... yes, we are speaking Hmong. The language is kept deep in our hearts. You look Thai, good job girl! I can never look American. I can look like a modern Chinese or Korean at best. You and I are Hmong.
