I think the number of Westerners practicing Falun Dafa in the USA is quite small right now. In any case, it is important to mention that being rational while practicing Falun Dafa means recognizing a certain truth: Westerners should generally abstain from promoting Shen Yun, because a Westerner promoting a show that displays traditional Chinese culture looks strange. It doesn’t make any sense for a Caucasian to go door-to-door asking to put up posters for Shen Yun. Also, Westerners clarifying what is happening with the CCP’s persecution is extra for them. I do it, but only on occasion. It isn’t exactly our job, but it can be when the situation is right. It is better if Westerners supplement the Chinese practitioners on this and instead focus on what matters in their own domain, such as removing all of the bad translations from “Team Yellow” and the 2018 “cultural translation” that directly violates the prohibition against intepretations of the texts. I am not sure who it is I am addressing on this matter, because anyone who truly practices and is a Westerner already knows these things.

There are so few Western practitioners that the only one I have seen at the projects is Roman Balmakov. Roman absolutely has a problem not having cultivated his speech. He makes offensive and sensationalist remarks on the air and he has a strong attachment to fame.
