Hmong Taste Testers Pick Whopper over Big Mac. Is That So?
Burger King dropped the burger bomb in Romania, remote thailand village and other virgin territories. Is it a good thing? This campaign is not to combat poverty. It is to make money.
Why go all the way to Thailand when good hmong actors can be found locally? Burger King could find hmong taste testers in Fresno, CA and the Twin Cities. Burger King could even find some Hmong actors, real, ordinary people in Wisconsin, North Carolinas and elsewhere.
It is time to recognize the contributions of Hmong people to this country. You can find many of them in various sectors of the population. Hmong professionals such as doctors, teachers, social workers, artists, and government officials could also participate in the taste testing campaign. They could still give valid opinions on the burger. Why go to a place that is not familiar with the burger war? These people eat good, organic foods. Let's not destroy their taste buds with burgers from America. Hmong in the remote village of Thailand want freedom as well as foods. How many of them are left behind? They need to be reunited with their family members here in the States.
Now Burger King may want to do a video to show their efforts and plight in the remote village of Thailand where these Hmong do not have any rights.
OK, get the message, Burger King?
