US Census Bureau says Hmongs are poor, uneducated, and don’t speak English
After a Hmong massacred six white hunters in Wisconsin, literally hundreds of news articles in the Mainstream Media has declared the Hmongs a prosperous a community, well-integrated with mainstream America. A report from the US Census Bureau published last Wednesday destroys that silly myth. In fact, it makes it clear that Hmongs put the diversity in the Asian-American “model minority,” that is to say, they are way poorer, are mush less educated, and speak little English compared to other Asian-American groups, according to the US Census Bureau.
The sorry state of the American-Hmong will not surprise if you’ve been reading Vdare.com’s coverage of it, but, if you’ve been listening to immigration hustlers in Minnesota - America’s Hmong Central - and elsewhere, to whom Hmongs are a pot of gold, you’ll probably believe that the Bureau is a racist propaganda tool. Sorry, nothing but the facts, hma’am.
Here are the numbers:
| Hmongs | Asian-Americans | US | |
| Median Family Income | $32,384 | $59,324 | $50,046 |
| Poverty Rate | 37.8% | 12.6% | 12.4% |
| Less than High school graduate | 59.6% | 19.6% | 19.6% |
| Bachelor degree or more | 7.5% | 44.1% | 24.4% |
| Speak other language than English at home | 95.6% | 79% | 17.9% |
Of course, it may be unfair to compare Hmongs to Asian-Americans or even Americans in general, since many Hmongs live in Minnesota and Wisconsin, where housing is cheaper than in California, where the bulk of Asian-Americans live. So let’s see how Hmongs stack up against people in Wisconsin and Minnesota:
| Hmongs | MN | WI | |
| Median Family Income | $32,384 | $56,874 | $52,911 |
| Poverty rate | 37.8% | 7.9% | 8.7% |
| Speak other language than English at home | 95.6% | 8.7% | 7.3% |
Unfortunately, the Bureau did not give per capita incomes. That would have been really fun since half of all Hmongs in America are under 18.
The good news is that Hmongs only make 1.7% of Asian-Americans. The bad news is that thousands more Hmongs are in the process of moving to America.
In the meantime, let’s just say that the Hmong community is not particularly forthcoming in dealing with the aftermath of the Hmong’s Massacre in Wisconsin. Check out this quote from The Green Bay News-Chronicle:
Ker Vang, executive director of the Hmong Association of Green Bay, said as a college student in Green Bay, he was asked to leave a bar because of his race.
He urged students not to think about the race of the those in the hunting tragedy but to think about them as one hunter interacting with other hunters.
Personally, I’ll think of it as a Hmong murdering six Americans.
But there was a little bit of insight at the meeting:
Kao Vang said he wanted students to realize the power education has in combating racism. “That’s the only way we can change our path, through education,” he said. “Without education, we go nowhere.”
Yup, getting through high-school would be a good start for Hmongs.
