It has been confirmed that racial slurs were used both times. Or the three Hmong teenagers who disappeared after a scuffle at a bar, or this Hmong girl's rape and murder which was thought to be under investigated, or even the still suspicious drowning of a Japanese Exchange student last year. All of this, and more, happened within my community. Just thought I'd expand on that point. Personally, it seems that Pop-culture is painting Asians into the same picture as 'blacks.' It seems to be effective in trapping them there. [quote]the conviction of Hmong American Chai Vang in the shooting of six fellow hunters.[/i]

When essayists have to pick and choose from a profusion of disturbing events, it's usually a sign things are about to get even worse.
