stems from the Clint Eastwood movie, Gran Torino. featuring his interaction with Hmong neighbors and culture.

Lol I don't know if there's any truth to this

But I don't understand asking why everyone wants to learn the language like a fad. I don't see people going out wanting to learn. In the guy's video, the majority of people responding are just Hmong people

Btw, gran torino was not accurate in some of the portrayal of he culture. If my neighbor saved my life, I don't go bring gifts and food and place it on his door step. Unless I'm just uneducated about my own culture but I've never seen that or heard of it. I'll have to ask my parents

I know! I had a good laugh about that. that movie wasn't that big. And it's not like it was something that people watched and wanted to imitate what they saw.

Agreed that screen shot I posted was after I used translate on it.

Hollywood rarely offers accurate potrayals, just different interpretations of stereotypes. and that was the typical stereotype of Asian submissiveness to the White Man.

CONTEXT.

............Also, whats the deal with every one...? is this a new fad or something?

I ventured a guess regarding the last part of Fat Homer's curiosity, assuming that was about why NON Hmong peoples' interest seems piqued. Obviously not people of that language and culture.

People see movies about something "new to them". maybe get a little interested.

Bingo.
Movies do stir the interests of viewers. inaccuracies & all.
doesn't have to be a big movie. If "imitate" was part of the idea, I was unaware. didn't watch the vid. only responded to Fat Homer.
