Concerning the terms Miao and Hmong
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
In China, the term "Miao" is not considered derogatory. Actually, it not only includes Hmong, but also other groups such as Hmu, A Hmao, Kho Xiong, etc. These groups speak languages that are related to Hmong, but they are different from Hmong. Maybe once they were all descended from the same group, but after dispersion, developed their own languages and culture. Anyway, it is offensive to refer to Hmong in SE Asia and America as "Meo", and one should always respect their wishes to be called "Hmong". However, in China, it is better to use the term "Miao", as it is not offensive there, and furthermore, a person who is Hmu, A Hmao, Kho Xiong, etc., may take offence at mistakenly being called Hmong!For more information on this subject, please refer to an excellent article by Gary Lee and Nick Tapp, "Current Hmong Issues: 10-point statement"
We're HMONG not MIAO!!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The author's must have not done their homework!! Miao is a racist definition of the Hmong that has been used for hundreds of years, by the Laotian and Chinese. It's similar to White Americans calling African-Americans by the "N" word!! All the authors had to do was ask a Hmong!!! To me this is an insult!!!!
When will the authors learn to use the correct name, Hmong?
