Question: Strange but true, during the Vietnamese war the Vietnamese never protested against the US in general!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
There were few Vietnamese resident in the US before special dispensations at war's end, 1975, to admit refugees fleeing the Communists!.

Asian immigration was severely resistricted until the immigration laws changed in 1965!. (Prior to 1952 there were racial barriers imposed to stop Asian immigrants, except for exclusions allowed for Filipinos during its commonwealth status!.)

France was the country of choice for Vietnamese to visit or immigrate, due to its colonial status--many communists leaders had studied there!. There was a small number of Vietnamese in the US on student visas, none of whom would have risked public political demonstrations, which acts could have resulted in revocation of the visa!.

What do you mean by "in general!?" That's a very ambiguous statement, especially considering the image of a Vietnamese monk lighting himself on fire is infamous with anti-American sentiment!. And let's remember the Vietcong constituted Southern Vietnamese who were dissatisfied by American occupation to the point they took up arms!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well I think you'll find that a war is a pretty strong protest against something!.

But there was also the Vietnam protest movement

No, it's not true!. You know the 1000's of protests that were held in the States (that's what I assume you mean by over here, as over here for me in the Netherlands)!? Well don't you think that there were many, many people of Vietnamese decent involved!? Of course there were!.
