🥒 ABOUT BEFRS:
Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but currently call Vietnam home. I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer.
If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.

[@moonartist4607]

Hello Andrew. I'm Hmong, and I just want to say thank you for showing such a high level of respect for my people. I want to point out to the audience that what miss Mee said at the end when you asked her what she will do with extra money, the translation is correct. BUT the way miss Mee said it is a phrase our hmong elder often says it. Its almost like looking down on herself :*(. In literal translation, she said, "peb hmoob ruam ruam tsis paub khwv nyaj ne." Meaning, "we hmongs are stupid and don't know how to make money." BUT before anyone comes at me or her, please understand that for us, this is to actually show how humble the elders are--at the same time though, this phrase is to carry our sadness of not having an established country, our sad history of being war torn and separated. In simple term, this is a most humble and sad way to say, "we don't have anything...but we will be okay." Thank you!

[@aliasdoe007]

Your translation like many Hmong-to-English translators, by Western-born and educated Hmong, is always too literal thus mostly wrong to a fault. True, Hmong are very humble. True, Hmong do not have a historically documented country of and all their own. That said, Hmong definitely do not " looking down " on themselves or am stupid. If this were true, they would have been completely suppressed, overruled, and exterminated by their foreign invaders and conquerors throughout their existence and history. The fact that you are here in the West is testament of not only their bravery, resilience, and survivalist ingenuity but more so their pride (not looking down) to maintain their culture, heritage, and way of life (identity), plus their intellect and perseverance -- favoring democracy over communism. When any Hmong, especially the elders or in this case Miss Mee, says 'ruam' in this context they are not implying or claiming to be stupid. They are in fact talking about education, having the opportunity to learn and be able to read, write, and speak especially a foreign language, to better one's outlook and life in a global more modernized world. They see the world changing around them and know full well that without an education they are merely peasants like their ancestors. And that without an education it is difficult to make a living to earn income or make money. Most if not all Hmong-to-English translators only know the basic literal meaning of spoken Hmong words not their contextual or applied meanings especially in complete phrases like the one so wrongfully translated and just as wrongfully explained by Moon Artist. True, most if not all of you are merely Hmong offsprings thus the lack of insight and intimate knowledge of the language, words, vocabulary, and applied meanings. Ua tsaug.

[@moonartist4607]

@@aliasdoe007 Thanks for the grand example of lack of humbleness. You're just a showcase that without humbleness and too much knowledge is the result of someone as yourself. Big words won't change the fact that you have no idea what I'm talking about. All the knowledge of language in the world and you lack the language of humbleness.

People in your personal life must not compliment you enough for you to feel the need to come and showcase it on youtube. I pity you and my conversation ends here with you. Humbleness is in fact the loudest language if only you listen to it with your heart, something in which you obviously lack. Bye.

her line doesnt mean dumb or stupid, it's mean uneducated.

I think it's so cool to see our culture and different kinds of hmong people being portrayed respectfully. Growing up I never saw anything hmong related unless it was the hmong movies my parents would buy that was homemade or the hmong radio.

[@misscid]

The blood in the eyes is definitely not a Hmong practice. That's the first time I've ever seen it done. Quite disturbing.

[@jacindal7539]

Yes this is not practiced in America.

[@bribri3069]

I know there’s certain areas in Vietnam that have practices that would be considered strange or disturbing to Vietnamese people in the cities. So I assume it’s the same in this case. It’s not safe to assume that just because some Hmong people might practice putting blood in their eyes that it is a common practice in the greater population of Hmong people.

[@agentorange8530]

she was just answering them questioning if it's a general Hmong practice, just to Vietnamese Hmongs or just Hmongs in this village. And it's definitely not a tradition. It's just something these Hmong people here do.

Those aren't rat. I'd say they're rather similar to beavers.... They only eat tree roots. We call those "khuui" in Maring dialect.

Rat is a generic term for rodentia/rodents. It can be very misleading as all rodents are not rats. It’s one of my pet peeves. 😂✌🏻
