These young men and women are children of the Lao refugees escaped from the Communist in Laos. They are not Lao national, How can they represent the country that they are not a citizen of? Laos does not allowed two citizenship but they allowed American Children to represent them. 🤔
In 2019 Laos past a law allowing athletes of exceptional ability with Lao heritage to be granted honorary citizenship. Check out our documentary, Heritage of Champions, where we explain this.
@@laoamericansports That's very selfish of The Lao PDR government. Whenever someone with Lao heritage are doing well then they want to claim them. The Lao PDR are the one that driven million of Lao people out of Laos, Now they want to grant citizenship to American children so they can claim them. that's very selfish and funny. How about granting citizenship to all Lao living out side of Laos. I bet they won't do it because they are afraid.
With that mentality Laos will never grow. If you don’t want to help contribute to its growth and reputation then don’t be a burden. The kids are representing a culture not the ideology of a political party.
