The "Yuon" controversy continues

Dear Friends,

Why worry too much about the cover of a book than what the book contains? Or why focus and worry about the color of Jean Paul’s string while there are much things more serious and grave in this world? Trade wars, trade crimes, maintain and trade with dictators perpetually carried by certain people and countries , war crimes, genocide, those are some serious things that people need to worry about and try to fight against to enlighten the world from all the bloody crimes committed.

Perhaps the individuals of yuon origins feel frustrated, shameful or offense by this word not because of the word or origin of the word itself but to all the horrors or horrific things that this word remind in yuon political history of animosities and hostilities against too much people for over centuries. Inversely, the word yuon can be so sweetie, generous, positive and yuons can be proud of it if yuon individuals act otherwise than those horrific shameful things. Why Khmer feel happy, proud while referring to Indian or Indo-Sythe but fell shameful and hateful while referring to yuons?

The real thing is not what people say but to what people contain.

Regards

Bopha Angkor
