As far as the Hmong population goes, I have worked and dealt with many on varying levels. I don't know of too many with a work ethic that resembles anything like...well, work! I remember working my ass off in a factory, being yelled at to do more, while 10-15 Hmong's sat off in a corner, and didn't do ANYTHING. They got paid more than me, too. I see them take tax dollars, and buy nice cars, trucks, and super nice stuff that the government gives them, more or less. Some can barely speak English. They come in to the dealership, looking for parts for their car, and I can barely understand them, and when I ask them to repeat themselves, they get all offended, and look at me like I'm the ding-dong. Then they'll order a $350 part for a $300 car, and then either not come get it, or when we have them pay the bill, they claim we quoted them A LOT less. That is what we deal with.

Now, to sapiens, if you didn't realize that English was the language that this country communicates in, then go to France, or something. I've had them try to speak to me in whatever language it is that they speak, and I've heard them try to communicate in other places of business in their native toungue. They get flustered when they aren't understood. They need to learn the language BEFORE they come here.

Anyways, before I get all warped out of shape, and get myself in trouble, I'm done here.
