I'm from the East Coast and now live in the Midwest - too many identifying markers will threaten anonymity. :angelic:

I wish I still lived with my parents!!! I miss them like crazy living halfway across the U.S. lol especially my mom's food!

Our Khmer parents got lotsa things to take care of in a country some of them still don't understand...although I am doing well, but they have the similar mentioned mentality to my brothers - the boys, they could be worse, but me I have to be perfect like a spotless white silk cloth. I got to...

I heard that! lol in my family, the girls are taught in an interesting manner - the beautiful ones are married off by their early 20s while the not so pretty ones are told to study hard because it's harder to find a reliable man for us lol like me...still in school LOL Just to be clear, i'm...

i feel pleased to be able to converse with other khmer folks online and in person

Lil bit late for those in our generation and older, but not for the younger ones. Frankly, I don't know enough 'bout the parents generation and their struggle before they got here so I would be making a lot of stuff up if I had to guess - but I do agree on many of the points that Hamster...

Phon88 is 26? Oh man, you are so young! Hunnie looks even younger than that!

If anything lotsa Khmer ppl don't get to go college for various reasons.

How did she become light?

The high achieving students I knew are cutthroat competitive to the point of actively sabotaging one another. They were better at hiding what they really thought too.

Everybody has got a preference! I think we're just discussing that its unjust to call someone unattractive solely because of the color of this skin and ignore other physical features or character traits.

You know what I really dislike? It's when other Asian people think all Khmer people are gangstas. I meet a whole lotta other Khmer people who are surprised I'm getting an advanced degree...although they have one too...like they did not expect that there are Khmer people who are Khmer people like...

People in Cambodia are very different from Cambodian Americans...for one, they deeply dislike the lifestyle we see in the video. Those people are strict about appropriate dress and decorum. I got some bad stories 'bout Cambodia that happened to me - but honestly that other person was another...

Skin color most certainly does not define a person's beauty. As a light-skinned person with a dark-skinned brother and father, I never appreciated the remarks about how dark they are my presence (since they don't think they are offending me, but they are). Light-skinned Cambodians usually think...
