[edit] Talented?
I wonder about the remark in "Trivia" about the supposed Asian American stereotype of being talented in many areas; there is no evidence that Connie has any particular talent for the violin, it's just that she's hardworking and practices a lot. Anyone could learn to play an instrument well with enough practice, even if they didn't have a scrap of musical talent. George Stroumboulopoulos 01:33, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- In one episode she plays Bluegrass with Hank and the gang quite well, even improvising at points, yet it's established she had never practiced that style before that episode. I think it's fair to say she's talented at the violin, even if she's not a Sarah Chang or an Alison Krauss.(as I mentioned bluegrass) However her speaking three languages is not particularly remarkable considering her parents at times speak Laotian at home and she was raised in the US. I think her grades is where it's more hardwork than anything. I don't think I've seen an episode where she knows more than her teachers or gets an A with only minimal studying. There's also been episodes where her family goes against the model-minority typecast that they originally had, like when they live as rednecks or fall for really stupid "get rich" schemes. This is less true of Connie, but she did have an interest in wrestling and as mentioned bluegrass.--T. Anthony 09:28, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Birthplace
Was Connie born in Anaheim or Orange County? On Minh's page it lists her birthplace as Orange County.--Grant the Wise 00:43, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Name Spelling
I believe it's spelled Kahnnie.
