Why they are called Lao Theung when they also live on the plain areas, not on the slopes of the mountains?

Right, Destined, many years has passed that in our CV, we have to indacate our ethnic we belong to : laolum, lao theung, laosung...I think this is one kind of discrimination among lao people, the department that issues the CV form must erase the word " xonhphao " out of the form. As lao people , we have the same right , same value, same responsibility toward the law and government.
regards.

Dear friend now we don't call Lao Theung Lao Soung and Lao Loum any more, Lao have 49 xonh phao, 4 groups of dialect. This issue has already approved.

because in the old days being naked was not something to be ashame of. the west was the one that said being naked was wrong and shameful it dates back to their christian fairy tales.

 

I dont find lao theung offensive lao theung along with relatives called khmer and khmer leu the central highland of vietnam are all the native people of se asia. perhaps austroasiatic groups should be used instead. austroasiatic groups were there before buddhism the indian religion and customs came to se asia.

khmu live in northern laos and are part of the austroasiatic peoples. aka lao theung. the people depicted here are not khmu perhaps they belong to the So or Kuy austroasiatic groups.
