Truly horrifying that this author can talk about the horrors experienced by the Hmong and then in the next breath villainize the Palestinians. When she wrote about these people being ripped from their homes and being force to march for days all I could think about was the Nakba. Pretty fucking gross on the part of this author.

We live in a hellish cycle of the same racist nonsense. In the 80’s people believe the Hmong are killing pets and in the 2020’s people blame the Haitians. There’s always an other to stoke fear against.

Alright this author is going way to easy on these doctors. Like they’re blatantly racist. Saying an ethnic group are terrible patients for whom the best treatment is a bullet to the brain is indefensible. This is not a story of culture clash like the author wants to suggest, this is about an oppressed ethnic group and a racist system.
