“I know that Sunisa will be judged by certain eyes in the Hmong Community because her man is Black,” was the caption of the video. “LOVE is LOVE, no matter what race or gender you are. Keep doing you QUEEN.”
With Martin Luther King Jr. Day just around the corner (January 17th), you would expect that things will be getting better in terms of our race relations. Unfortunately, whenever a celebrity flaunts their interracial relationship, they still get backlash.
Lee opened up about the harsh comments she has gotten over her interracial relationship with Smith - a football player at the University of Southern California. Being the first Hmong American to make the U.S. Olympic Team, here is what she had to say about the hate comments: “I’ve received so much hate they support me when it’s beneficial for them never when it comes to my happiness. Thank you!”
Lee is no stranger to racist attacks. She and her friends of Asian descent were hurled with racial slurs by a group of people on a night out telling them to “go back to where they came from.” Apparently one of them hit her with pepper spray.
She has felt the scrutiny that comes with being in the limelight saying,"...it’s definitely very hard... which makes it really difficult when I have to go on social media and see bad comments about myself or people just talking bad about me.”

My Broker Ended Banking Services on an account I've had for over 24 Years. I haven't been able to pay my mortgage, Life Insurance, or even Buy Food in over 4 months. And my Life Insurance has been cancelled.

Shelli003 says:Posted: 26 Jan 22This is so very sad to read about the " hateful & racist" comments that Suni Lee is receiving merely because her boyfriend is Black. Those naysayers need to grow up! I just hope that this negativity doesn't sway the couple's love toward each other. Sunni Lee is happy and I'm happy for her.

Coaching Testimonial
"My online love inspiration angel"
Submitted by: Patricia, USA, 21
To be honest, in the beginning, I thought it would be a waste of time. But since I've never seen a similar service in any other dating site, I decided to give it a try.
I always "thought" my profile was on point and I did not need any help to correct my page. I always had in my profile if someone is not attracted to my profile, then that's "their" loss.
BOY WAS I WRONG!!
I will never forget my first time using the Coaching Service I was introduced to my personal Dating Coach. Let me put it this way, if it was not for her I would have given up long time ago (even though I'm a new member).
She taught me so many things and gave me good advice, I did not want to stop chatting with her at all.
She opened my eyes to many possibilities when finding love. She is definitely an inspiration and I appreciate a whole lot. She is more than a Dating Coach to me; she is more of a close friend/guide to me. She is definitely my "online love-inspiration angel".

It's no coincidence that the term is "Race". By now people should know that lands & climates are different. People also have those things called "Genes". Therefore, we will look different & may act differently, however, we are a species called "Human". Anything else *IS fictional.
