alongside political rhetoric that blamed COVID-19 on people from Asia, has deeply impacted the community., which focuses on second and third generation Hmong people in St. Paul, said “a Hmong person will experience discrimination on a daily or weekly basis. It’s been challenging because there are so many different levels of racism.
When we argue that displaced people deserve to come to the United States because of their exceptional contributions, we miss the most basic argument for why refugee resettlement matters: because everyone deserves to be safe and free. Instead, the response of Lee’s community represents a much-needed reminder for many of us in a country too often focused on individualism. Many of the Hmong people where Lee grew up have a different mindset. As Vang put it, “We’re so driven as a group: one succeeds, the whole group succeeds.” We need more of that kind of thinking in the United States right now.
