The article "Doing the Mixed-Race Dance" told us about how Mixed-Race Vietnames identify themselves in Vietnames American communities and how hard they can meld in Vietnames American group. I usually consider vietnames American community is a united group of Vietnames Americans who live in United State and do not aware that this kind of group still exist diversty and social class hierarchy. It seems that Mixed-race Vietnames are in a very awkward position in this group, sometime they even do not know which group should they belong to. However, sicne there is class hierarchy exist in Vietnames American communities, to aviod  from discrimination, mixed-race may "doing a dance" and there are various options for them to choose. I highly think that the classfication should not exist in Vietnames American communities and the so-called 10 questions which exist in article are so stupid. People who live in Vietnames group should get together rather than set hierarchy.

Questions: Why social class hierarchy exist in Vietnames American communities? What effort can Vietnames Americans do to errase discrimination in their communities?
