One of my nephew's best friend's (who is now a doctor) parents are physicians who landed in Nebraska. What's funny is that when I first met him, I knew nothing about him other than he was Vietnamese. I then found out he was from Nebraska and was an avid pheasant hunter until he went away to medical school........
I think the Vietnamese who were successful in their journey to the US more than made up for the hospitality extended to them in that they all went on to become hard working, productive members of our society......
I grew up with many Vietnamese in Nebraska.
Big rednecks. Good hunters. Their parents would cook food that I couldn’t pronounce, and complain about football.
I will never forget that the father, though he loved the Fourth of July, couldn’t watch fireworks.
I’ve met quite a few Vietnamese refugees also and they were all hard working people. Everything good after they all learned that eating your neighbor’s pet dogs is not acceptable behavior here.:-)
