Amerasians from the Vietnam war?

Question

I have been interested with the Vietnam War (known in Vietnam and to many viet kieu as the American War) and its effects for years.

It seems however that people always assume the mother was Vietnamese and the father an American GI or other military person.

Inevitably there were a few who had Vietnamese FATHERS and American mothers (nurses and such at army bases, like Da Nang, like in the show China Beach) .. what became of those?

Please respond with honesty and compassion.

Thank you.

Cam' on.

Answer 1

Amerasian?

What is that?

Did you mean to say United Statesian of Asian descent?

Answer 2

Well, my father in law served in the S. Vietnamese Army during that time.  Shortly after the war, he and his wife were allowed to move to this country.  They had 4 kids who are 100% Americanized.  My wife was the third of these children and is now a Kindergarten teacher.  Not sure what else you want to know.

Answer 3

You be funny, you think there were a lot of the 7000 women that were there getting pregnant by peasant men?

You do not know anything about Viet Nam. While there may have been VERY isolated instances of this, those numbers (if any) would be insignificant. Besides if any of the women there would have gotten pregnant they would have been sent back to the states long before the birth! So they would be right here!

The son's and daughters left behind were treated like $h!t with a capitol "S"!

I know one young lady fathered by a blonde Texan. She is 40, blonde, white and does not speak much english. She is drop dead gorgeous too. I have been with her at the Mall. Guy's are hitting on her, Helen and I just laughed when she speaks to them with their mouths hanging down.

Helen (Dai) is her aunts good friend.

Where in the heck did you dream this up???

Edit: I have added 2 links, the 1st a Vietnamese run site by a guy down in Orange County CA. The 2nd is a great timeline of the conflict from 1945-1975. What it won't tell you is what I know was done to Helen and many other cute young girls in Saigon after the fall in 75. It won't get into her escape at sea, floundering for 2 days without engines and having to wade ashore at low tide after they struck a reef off a small Malaysian Island holding her 2 year old son over her head while old people drowned. It will skip how her brother in law (Major ARVN 1955-1975) hid for 3 years after escaping re-education camp before walking from Trah Vihn to Thailand thru Cambodia with his wife and 2 sons or his niece, 12 at the time, making the same trip by herself. You have NO idea of the fear Helen had of me calling her there in 2004 and mentioning politics. As a family member of the old regime the family is suspect and people just vanish in the night to this day for saying the wrong thing. Her son got a job with The State Dept to go to Hanoi. She forbid it in fear they would kill him as a spy because of his family.
