As soon as they started to appear, the quotes seemed remarkably offensive: â??Hmong women are better off now that Hmong men are dying off in this countryâ? or â??all Hmong men purchase their wives, so if he wants to have sex with his wife and she doesnâ??t consent, you and I call it rape, but the Hmong guy is thinking, â??man, I paid too much for her.â?? â? The remarks were attributed to Leonard V. Kaplan, a professor of law at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
