What really hurts the most is that KK is being accused by other Khmers as
Vietnamese...

Khmer Krom: the persistent struggler for identity
As a Khmer young generation, I have seen that Khmer Krom peoples are the
most struggling Khmers. Though they are living under the oppression, threat,
assimilation and swallowing environment of Vietnamese, Khmer Krom still
strongly proclaim their survival and unique identity.
For instance, some Khmer Krom cannot speak their mother tongue language
properly, but their heart and brain are still Khmer. Some of them cannot dress
Khmer customs, but their heart and brain are still Khmer. Young Khmer Krom
generations are facing with uncomprehending of their own culture, language and
religion, but those young KK generations are ready to learn and stand up to
maintain and protect their ancestors' culture.
In contrast, in Cambodia there are thousand of Vietnamese illegal
immigrants can speak Khmer properly, but their heart and brain are Vietnamese.
They have come to Cambodia with particular purpose to serve Vietnamese
interest. Especially, to last the power of their
former servant/puppet in political position so that they can maintain their
status quo and swallow Cambodia eventually.
Also in contrast, many Cambodian citizens are Khmers by origin, but for
self interests, power, position and wealth, they can do everything particularly
to oppress their own Khmer brothers and sisters. More than this, they don't
care about the long term future of Cambodia, and they can serve any foreigner
who can keep them in power and last their position forever.
Khmer Krom peoples are regarded as the most struggling minor peoples in
this world if we compare to Kurd, Iraqis or Jews...etc
