There is no freedom of speech, religion or culture. Aggressively Vietnam-ized, the Khmer Krom struggle to maintain their way of life and identity.

In turn, the Khmer Rouge soldiers took the opportunity to preach how terrible the Americans are. And then the Vietnamese came and help end the war. I believe that's the reason why Cambodian governments are being controlled by the Vietnamese government.

She seems cute to me. I think if they learn both languages and cultures they'll only have so much more to gain. They just have to realize that no matter what...there will be other races/ethnics in other parts of the world.

Maybe because they are lighter in complexion???? My daughter is half Viet and her Viet family don't accept her because she is darker in color. Doesn't that tell you how most Viets are? Not all but most.

Exactly...if they can call us ngoui mieng why can't we call them Youn?
