[edit] Question
In Laotian American it says Hmong are separate as a non-Lao people. However many of them were from Laos and I've noticed some of the additions are Hmong. Is there a concensus on this?--T. Anthony 06:53, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
- I added several people to this list how were mainly Hmong. This list originally had only a few notable persons listed and was purposed for deletion. I was assuming this list was people from the country of Laos (not necessarily Lao people). I am not in favor of a new Hmong list since it will caused too many problems (too few entries in list, wrong ethnic categorization, duplicates). I am not sure what the consensus is but I think a majority of people will assume Laotian mean "someone from the country of Laos". Otherwise shouldn't the name be "Lao Americans"? --MarsRover 16:56, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

- I'm not in favor of a new Hmong list, but there already is a List of Hmong Americans.--T. Anthony 01:47, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- These categories are for ethnic groups whenever possible; otherwise, national groups when ethnicism has dropped away. Lao is one ethnic group; Hmong is another; both groups have their history and their place. If some articles are in the wrong place, they should be moved by whomever knows the facts. If 'Lao Americans' would be better than Laotian, do it! I can help. Thanks Hmains 02:32, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- If these are two separate ethnic groups that have members referred to as two separate things, they should definitely be two separate pages. Mad Jack 02:33, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
