I dont know much about the people who left vietnam at the end of the war and came to the US. I just assume it was the worst of the worst who sided with capitalists and lost.
I've known a few "boat people" from Vietnam, when I inquired, they didn't reveal much about family history besides standard collaboration stuff. Idk, it's definitely a hard to pin down demographic
Seems like their politics are similar to "refugees" from Latin America, the article says, "Vietnamese Americans have historically voted Republican, though their children are increasingly staking out more liberal positions and voting for Democrats." AKA people who had a grudge against people who ended their parents' or grandparents' greed are becoming less common as their kids aren't fed Cold War propaganda and experience the realities of American capitalism.
