Black Hmong People in Market Near Sapa

We stopped to walk through this market on the way to Sapa, and started taking and giving away Polaroids, mostly of the Black Hmongs, but also of the local Viets. The local English teacher asked us to visit his class, but we couldn't.

I like Hmong people. They're better than the Viets when it comes to coexisting with nature. And much less violent.

Actually my Black Hmong friends do speak differently from what I myself (White) speak.

@greenmanadragon

It's according to their dialect. That person wasn't and still isn't dumb. Black, White, Green, Blue, Stripped etc. is all on dialect not on color of skin.

The women are mostly talking in Vietnamese to the cameraman's translator, but at certain times, for example at 0:13, you can clearly hear them speaking in Hmong.

if they are black hmong, then why aren't they black. Who ever invented the color term for the Hmong for the division of the hmong class is so freaking uneducated, stupid, retarded, mindless, well a very dumb person. Hmong should be called according to the stripe of their traditional clothes.

[Jaiandmai]

are they really Hmong? I can't understand them.

[youieyang]
