==Reaction and controversy==
The shooting incident attracted nationwide attention and sparked much controversy. Because of Vang's background as a [[Hmong]] immigrant from [[Laos]], many Hmongs have felt that they have been greatly discriminated against because of the incident. Many white upper-Midwest residents say the focus of news reports was on the potential discrimination against Hmong instead of on the actual suffering of the victims of the shootings. This included a brief circulation of bumper stickers entitled "Save a Deer, Shoot a Mung" akin to the controversial 1989 campaign of "Save a Walleye. Spear a Indian" at Rice Lake. [[Racism]] also became a major disputed issue, as many claim that either Vang or the white shooting victims was the target of [[hate crime]].
