I am an old Irish American lady, living in Lawrence, Massachusetts. We are 10 miles away from the #2 Cambodian city in the USA, Lowell, Massachusetts. I go to Lowell often, and there are many Cambodian people here in Lawrence. I am proud to say that I have many Cambodian friends. I even have a Cambodian roomate(we rent a room to a young lady). What Khmer I know, I know because of the patience and kindness of Cambodian people, most especially my respected teacher, Loak To Vath. I help my friends with their English, and we have lots of fun studying together. I have never seen any of the Cambodians in my area behaving rudely or acting as if they hated Americans or anyone else. I felt that I should say something to show that the list of bad characteristics someone attributed to Cambodian people is woefully inaccurate as regarding every Cambodian THAT I HAVE EVER MET.
