The History of Vietnam

>Enslaved by China for 1000 years and used as sex slaves
>"Slave girls of Viet, sleek of buttery flesh."
>The writer Nguyen Huy Thiep writes "the most significant characteristics of this country are its smallness and weakness. She is like a virgin girl raped by Chinese civilisation. The girl concurrently enjoys, despises and is humiliated by the rape."
>Vassalized by China for the next 1000 years
>Song Emperor Taizong to King Le Hoan in 979: "You fly and leap like savages. You drink through your noses. When you talk, you sound like birds. Let us teach you the knowledge of the proper laws. Do you want to discard your garments of leaves and grass?"
>Half the "native" dynasties were founded by Han Chinese immigrants
>Enslaved by Ming China
>During military "victories" the capital was destroyed and the main "strategy" was to hide in the mountains while the invaders suffered from heat, bugs and disease and eventually left
>Begged Qing China for help against France
>Colonized and enslaved by France
>Vietnamese were called "Annamites"
>No such thing as "Vietnamese culture"

They opened up economically like China. Political repression still heavy, but less than in China. Many refugees in the United States. They ended the Khmer Rouge. They defeated China. Eat rice. Whater-buffalos.

Apparently they like to wear pajamas to go to some places for coffee.

It is a place that I intend to visit someday.

Hello Kevin Chang, enjoying the United States?

I don’t even know anything about the Vietnam war, and no I don’t care either

I want a Vietnamese girlfriend

They were colonized by France for a while.

Good food. Thanks to the French influence.

Good coffee. Thanks to the French influence.

Funny-looking alphabet.

Funny-sounding language. Sounds like ducks.

Some of the shortest Asians I've seen.

Hates China with a vengeance, probably because they were enslaved by the Chinese for thousands of years. That also made them tough little fuckers.

Most of the massage parlors that I go to have Vietnamese girls. Some of them are pretty cute. But the hotter they are, the bitchier they tend to be.

China and Vietnam fought a war after the Vietnam War. And that’s it

they like all asains have a weird obsession with karaoke

Oh and Vietnamese fucking LOVE to gamble.

I've never done karaoke but it looks fun

I hate that we imported all the traitorous war crime committing losers to Southern California after the war. They should have remained in Vietnam, died fighting, or fuck off.

it is what would you sing lad?

The VN-CHN animosity is for the most part mostly mythical. Even Ho Chi Minh had ties to the CCP.

I only know that I know nothing

one of those refugees founded huy fong

imagine America without sriracha, I bet you can't
