I hit a paragraph where the author took a painstaking amount of evidence to highlight how the Hmong are 'unusually attentive parents' and proceeded to compare them to Caucasian parents.

The measuring stick is white normalcy, and the Hmong are unusual. This is the common thread throughout what I've read so far. I've always been wary of white authors writing about 'exotic' minorities, but I expected more.

I've been reading this book for longer than I care to admit, also need to finish this one. Unlike the other healthcare-humanity intersectional book I'm reading, this one is very much an extended narrative interspersed with background info so reading it in a shorter period would have been in my better interest. I literally took it on two camping trips a year apart and made 0 pages progress between those incidents.
