As a Hmong person, I never would have thought that we would have a monumental moment in media like this. We have dealt with so much erasure in America and worldwide. Thank you for even MAKING this video. In a sense, it feels like we are being seen for the first time.

Sunisa Lee’s story is the beauty of our Hmong community. I’m extremely happy and 100% proud for Sunisa and her family. It’s important to shed light on the underrepresented. Congratulations to Sunisa Lee 🏅 A true Champion. It’s truly a beautiful time to be Hmong and Asian. … It was nice to hear your thoughts Andrew & David. I can see and hear how passionate you two are about this topic. If you ever want to try that boiled chicken and cabbage soup, I’m the Hmong Chef for it! Let’s eat authentic Hmong food together! 🙌 😎

@@niccolom No one here ever mentioned anything about politic views and power. We're only here to unite Hmong and other asian ethnicities. Comment was only a simple response or additional facts of where Hmong history came from and in today's society. Yes, just like all countries, everyone all fought on both sides with all politic views and powers. Instead of being narrow minded and accusing pro china just because of their current communism practices, today in China, Hmong live in peace and have prosper there too. It is today that is clear that there are more people reside in Zhongguo than we all may have thought. Imagine if China was not united, there would've been 56 little countries and easier to be dominated. Look at the clearer picture in America, aren't asian being hated on just because of Covid. Until this day, we still accuse others of where it originated. And elders are still being attacked out on the streets and all just because you cannot change an asian chinese looking like face. Well, peace out.

In America, all asian need to unite. As a matter of fact, on earth, all humans need to unite and stop the fight. But only here where we segregate and discriminate. You, as a Hong Konger, need to step up and stop the asian hater on the streets of the Chinatowns. Other than Asians in America, people see you just as if you are a Chinese, not Hong Konger.

When I first started teaching Middle School, in San Diego & was also finishing the Master's program... there were two Taiwanese colleagues in the same program, with one or two general classes together. They're also finishing their Master's... but in nursing. We went out to celebrate, Kearney Mesa... in a great Chinese restaurant there... and the two Chinese colleagues --- they're were a bit older, so they affectionately called me their "little brother" --- asked what ethnic group was I from. I said "Hmong." They said, "What?" I said, "Hmong... from southern China... the 5th or 6th largest ethnic group in China... 10M plus people..." They looked at each other and one said, "Oh, you mean Maio-Tzu?" ... I said, "I guess that's what the Han Chinese called us... but I've never known myself in any other name, nor my parents or grandparents..." Anyway.... I was mistaken in the Twin Cities --- I lived there for 15 years --- for being a Korean. One time I was in a City Bus, going from Uptown, Minneapolis, to Downtown. There were 4 or 5 South Korea tourists next to me. One woman started talking to me in Korean. I said, "I am not Korean, sorry...." "Oh," she said, "we thought you're Korean, since your face look round like a typical Korean face." Not sure if my Asian face was supposed to be square... but I giggled a bit over the light hearted misunderstanding... HINT: not all South Koreans look like these few dozen pop culture Korean actors & actresses with $1M plastic surgeries. Most of your average South Koreans --- here in the West ---- look no different than your average Hmong, average Thai, average Japanese, average Chinese et al. We are quite difficult to tell apart from each other, except in the very few outlier stereotypical pop culture personalities as noted. Or except when people are talking in languages we know to be Mandarin, Thai, Lao, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korea, Hmong, etc. I have a little brother who's been living and teaching in Japan the last 12 years. He's fluent in Japanese, having learned it since the 1990s as a little boy into Japanese anime &, then, went on to major Japanese at San Diego State later on in college... I doubt very much even Japanese would be able to easily tell him apart from other Japanese, even if they should detect a slight accent in his Japanese... One of my first year roommates at UC San Diego was Japanese American & he spoke no Japanese & that's rather typical, for Asians born here in the West... since my little brother, born & raised in San Diego, as a Hmong American speaks absolutely NO HMONG!

@@smlbcity23every thing you do in this world. all you need is luck, nothing is easy. sometimes being lucky is better than being just good. but, to be able to win WSOP like jerry did, you have to have skill to get that far. and also definitely need lots of lucks, you can be the best but you can't win everything, win somes loose some. SUNISA is good but as you can see she couldn't win the last 2 she competed . (the uneven bar and beam) she almost fell off the beam. she got the bronze on the unevrn bar but she fell to fifth place on the beam and she was not medal. that mean you can be good but still need some luck to win.

Sunisa Lee winning gold meant the world to the Hmong communities globally not just Hmong American or Asian American community. It's also a win for any ethnic minority also. Not only that, she is the first Hmong ever to be in the Olympic of any country. That alone is a story of success itself. For Sunisa to win gold, words can't truly explain how greatful and of a win that is to the Hmong communities globally. Thanks for dissecting the Hmong American journey and Sunisa Lee's story because not all Asian communities had the leisure of a wealthy background, a family who has any kind of business, or educated parents. The southeast Asians especially the Hmong really came from nothing, mainly on social service when immigrated to America. Although the Hmong doesn't have a specific country of their own, we can at least say we have a Hmong American daughter who won gold for us on a elite global stage.

Her parents are exceptional! You can have the greatest talent, but you will still need the right people in your life to lift you up along the way. I can’t imagine the struggles, the level of faith, determination and sacrifices her parents had to endure to get Sunisa to where she is today.

I still can’t stop praising Olympic gold medalist Sunisa Lee. And for many of us in the Hmong community, we can relate with her story on so many levels. Our parents and their parents came over to the US as refugees with literally nothing. They had to re-learn a new language and adapt to a new culture. They had no skills and could only work low paying odd jobs. They gave birth to us, the first generation of Hmong-Americans hoping that we could get a better life in a country of freedom and equal opportunity. We struggled also with the weight on our backs to create a prestige for our families and also learning at the same time that we didn’t belong. But today, we hope that changes and we’re so proud of Sunisa Lee because she represents the biggest achievement ever made by a Hmong person on the highest and largest stage ever. Her victory is more significant than most people even realize and it will inspire generations for many years to come!
