Everywhere I go and everyone I talk to asks me what nationality I am...?? My father is 1/2 Lao, 1/2 Thai but born in Lao. So, I tell them I both. Either people never heard of it (ignorance) or they say Lao is ****. Wtf?? Either way I'm insulted by ignorance!!! I am the ONLY Lao/Thai living where I do. I feel so alone. I miss my friends and family in Cali and Utah.... Arkansas.... *shakes head* People say Lao comes from Cambodia, or Burma, also Malaysia.... ????? Dumb. When I explain the famous story every Lao, Thai knows how the Kings sons fought over the throne and the Kingdom was divided... They call bull**** and say I don't know my own culture....???????? Does anyone else ever have this problem? (I know I'm surrounded by back-water inbreeders)
