re: #163 gwangung

A playwright friend of mine wrote about the generation of Vietnamese who fled. He was deeply surprised on the attitudes and opinions of his parents and their friends, as well as many others of that generation.

Yes, much of that government was corrupt, but…so is much of our current government. I think Americans are much too American centered when it comes to Vietnam and its people.

The impression I’ve gotten of many of the Vietnamese- north and south interviewed on the documentary is these were ordinary men and women stuck in an extraordinary situation.
