>Yes, the greater majority of which were persecuted and which were turned into boat people’s probably are mostly of Chinese heritage.
I was under the impression that most of the boat people were ethnic Vietnamese.
>The one’s who call the shots in Hanoi now, aka the Vo Van Giap breed of Vietnam, my opinion, are of Pinoy-Indonesian heritage.
I believe that the Vietnamese are of mixed blood-namely a blend of Chinese and Austroasiatic. “Pinoy-Indonesians” are Austronesians.
Re: I was under the impression that most of the boat people were ethnic Vietnamese.
One’s who are deemed as refugees are mostly either overseas Chinese living in Vietnam and their descendants or they are Vietnamese who are affiliated with the Chinese community in their country through marriage. The word is that they were persecuted because they refuse to join the military during the war. For the one’s who weren’t lucky enough to leave the country, they were rounded up from the street and trucked to the front lines and forced as gatherers of dead corpses during the war. I had a few rental properties that I used to rent out to these new comers to my town. They told the whole story of who they are and why become refugees.
