you know you 're dooming them to ghetto life or whatever and i know that that the Southeast Asians the Hmong people that i 've done some work with uh feel really quite hurt and and unsure of themselves when here because they 're coming from you know from the slash and burn intercultural society you know they 're coming from the middle ages basically and they 're being plunked down in plunked down into America many of them had been promised by the CIA during the war over there that because they cooperated with the CIA and they helped the CIA out that when they came here the CIA would help establish them in America and the CIA of course isn 't doing that and uh
I was really surprised when I got to know some Hmong people because they come from a very advanced culture .
