It’s more evidence that Brown hates Asians.

Ok I just gotta jump in here.

I know, 1975 was a long, long time ago, and you are talking about then, not now.

I know that. I really do. But it has been a long, long time since then. The people of Vietnam still have the same government, but it seems to have become a much, much more moderate place now.

Really.

Keep in mind, that Vietnam now, is a balance to the influence of China. Another country, but one which we have been busily building up as quickly as we could, for 30 years now.

Meanwhile, Vietnam has NOT been supporting China. They have even fought a couple of times.

Recently our Navy, sent an aircraft carrier to Da Nang, for five days.

Vietnam is not the enemy.

[apocalypto]

Maybe back then. But now the Vietnamese go strong for Dems.

btw, Gov. Brown then was also buddies with Rev. Jim Jones.

Yep, there are many such quotes by Dim politicians at least up into the 1990s, then they realized they could only win national elections will more and more minority voters.

[onedoug]

Always a soft spot in my heart for southern Vietnam.

China is stealing hers, and the rightful claims of others, in the South China Sea.

BINGO!!! A WINNER!!!

Back when the US was about 88% Caucasian.

...Gov. Jerry Brown 1975: Don’t ‘Dump Vietnamese’ Refugees on California...

Of course he was against Vietnam refugees. They were overtly anti Communist/Socialist and fleeing from oppression by them. They just wouldn’t fit in living in the Golden State.

“We can’t be looking 5,000 miles away and at the same time neglecting people who live here,”

Not surprising that the slime-bucket, commie Jerry Brown would hate Vietnamese fleeing from communist Vietnam. Brown was cheering for the VC (Vietcong) and NVA (North Vietnam Army) every day our troops were in country.

Jerry Brown from 1995

The conventional viewpoint says we need a jobs program and we need to cut welfare. Just the opposite! We need more welfare and fewer jobs. Jobs for every American is doomed to failure because of modern automation and production. We ought to recognize it and create an income-maintenance system so every single American has the dignity and the wherewithal for shelter, basic food, and medical care. I’m talking about welfare for all. Without it, you’re going to have warfare for all. Without a universal health care like every other civilized country, without a minimum level of income, this country will explode. You can’t blame the guy at the bottom forever. At some point there’s a reaction and we’ll see that the real criminals are those calling the tune, making the rules, and walking to the bank. We have the money, we have the brain power. The United States now has the highest measured wealth of any nation ever in the history of the world. We could rebuild our cities, we could create the kind of buying power and community well-being that will provide for peace. The guaranteed income is one way.

Another way is to have always the availability of work in a nonprofit, in community service. A third is to start giving people training to develop skills where they can be self-supporting. You could come up with a cash supplement. Even conservatives have suggested a negative income tax to cut out the bureaucracy. If we were smart, we’d get rid of welfare and give people a family assistance like they do in Europe…

The problem isn’t even a problem. Automation and technology would be a great boon if it were creative, if there were more leisure, more opportunity to engage in raising a family, providing guidance to the young, all the stuff we say we need. America will work if we’re all in it together. It’ll work when there’s a shared sense of destiny. It can be done! It’s all there! What isn’t there is the leadership to create the kind of social network, the safety net, the distribution that would truly create a just and equal society…

We have to restore power to the family, to the neighborhood, and the community with a non-market principle, a principle of equality, of charity, of let’s-take-care-of-one-another. That’s the creative challenge. First, expose relentlessly the big lie that comes over the tube every night-that if you just go out and find that job, and work harder, it’ll all be fine. It won’t! There’s not enough work to go around and a lot of the pay is not fair. Unless you totally yank up that system and create a better one, unless the spirit changes, unless the heart opens, unless we confront power with the truth of our own unarmed but absolute fearless truth, we’re not going to overcome it. Evil is too embedded to be overcome by anything other than a spiritual challenge.

These refugees would be anti-Communist. Get it?

Many of my neighbors are Vietnamese refuges and they are some of the finest people you will ever meet !

[Zhang Fei]

There's only one poll of Asian voting patterns that I know of, and it's conducted by a Democratic front organization, the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund. It's not clear how seriously anyone should take it. Assuming how the various ethnicities vote relative to each other is accurate, what's striking is how slanted the Indian vote is against the GOP, given that Republicans are big boosters of India. Whereas both Vietnamese and Chinese voters are twice as likely to vote for the GOP, despite the GOP's persistent critiques of the Communist regimes running their home countries.

We had Vietnamese neighbors for 10 years. Minded their own business, kept their house beautiful, and had 2 quality children. Both kids worked at the same restaurant after school and on weekends until they went to college.
The Vietnamese guy who owns the nail shop I go to is a full fledged Republican. He knows what communism is.

[Jean2]

I wonder why that changed after 1992?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Jerry didn’t want anti-Communist Republican immigrants fleeing the Marxist paradise.

[Gay State Conservative]

Makes perfect sense.The Vietnamese were here to work hard and support themselves.Not the type of folks who might be inclined to vote Rat.

[rmlew]

Communism ceased to be an issue in the 1990s as it regressed and Vietnam opened up
