How 2nd-Gen Vietnamese Are Settling Into Czech Republic With New Careers | The New Locals - Part 5/8

[@andersschoen3613]

Yes. I am a European and married to a Vietnamese. So I can attest to that. In my country in Europe we got mostly the people from the religion of “peace” destroying everything in their way. The Eastern Europeans are smart to choose people who can assimilate and are hard working. 🎉

The Vietnamese in the former Eastern block countries are primarily from North Vietnam. In the US, most of the Vietnamese are from South Vietnam.

Very refreshing to see the individual Czech-Vietnamese stories and the success they’re having with the larger Czech community.

We need more content like this sharing the localized diaspora of Asian immigrants and their successful integration into their new adoptive countries!

[@martinissomewhere1418]

I wanted to say thank you for this video during times when stricter immigration policies worldwide are being heavily questioned. This gives us another perspective that first-generation immigrants can assimilate well into an established homogenous country. As a second-generation Viet-Czech and currently Viet-Czech-American, I am glad this video promotes cultural exchanges and open-mindedness, which lead to prosperity for the Czechs and Vietnamese that could be imitated in any country. My parents moved to the Czech Republic to work and provide for their family members in Vietnam. In the meantime, they learned Czech and German and fell in love with the country so much that they decided to stay after the fall of the Iron Curtain. And that is how I was born in Czech, Teplice, and lived in Jilove, Decin for 12 years before I moved to America. Even though 1st generation and my generation Viets might(most likely did) have experienced heavy racism during the early introduction of Vietnamese to Czechs; instead of feeding on the hatred, we learned to understand and appreciate the cultures of the Czechs (And vice-versa) that would be the foundation of Czech and Vietnamese heavy respect for each other as of today. Of course, I cannot speak for all Czech-Vietnamese, but this is my analysis! My American side is relatively new (It is very hard for me to relate to Vietnamese Americans as their history is different from mine), but my roots and foundation are no doubt from Czech! Much love to the Czechs!

1:56 i’m surprised the Vietnamese community in Czechia is in the top-5 in terms of numbers in that country. Perhaps the top-5 largest ethnic groups would have only included immigrants from neighbouring countries or even fluent speakers of other Slavic languages.

[@serebii666]

Czechia is a highly homogenous society ever since the population transfers following WW2 that saw the sizeable German ethnic minority expelled (primarily to Austria and Bavaria in West Germany), and likewise ethnic Czech minorities repatriated from neighboring countries to replace them (most notably from USSR, Poland, and Austria), as well as internal migration of Slovaks and Romani from Eastern Slovakia that underwent Czechification over the next few generations. 95% of the Population is therefore Czech (i.e. citizens), with the largest foreign resident minorities being - in descending order - 500k Ukrainians (where Czechia also hosts an outsize amount of Ukrainian refuges from their current war), Slovaks (about 120k) and then the Vietnamese, followed by about 40k Russians (which is about equivalent to the Russian diaspora of similarly sized Austria), then 20k of each Romanians, Bulgarians, Poles, and 10k Germans, Mongolians, Hungarians, Americans, Kazahks, Indians, Chinese and Brits. Historically Czechia was part of the Holy Roman Empire and Cisleithanian part of Austria-Hungary. It therefore had relatively little exposure to other Slavic languages (aside from Slovak that was heavily influenced by Czech norms) and was under constant pressure from German influence, with German medieval colonization of its borders even separating it from Polish as Silesia developed. As a landlocked country, similar to Austria or Switzerland, society was then as now relatively xenophobic and patriotically chauvinistic, which results in strong normative pressure to have immigrants learn Czech for daily life. Only half of the population speaks English, 15% speak German, and less than 10% speak Russian, let alone the 2% that speak French or 1% Spanish, so those cannot always be relied on as lingua franca.

I'm sure they do, just the way the first generation arrived was far from rosy - when I was a kid, a couple with a baby lived with my grandma in a single rented room, working in a factory. You can find a few racist idiots everywhere and here some people casually address Vietnamese shop owners in the informal way which they wouldn't use speaking to a Czech stranger, though admittedly that may stem to a degree from that often being the case the other way around, from the older Vietnamese due to their more basic Czech. At high school, 20+ years ago, I had a classmate fresh from Vietnam (her dad had been running a small fast food down the street - still is) who couldn't really speak Czech yet but immediately had a friend sit with her, who kept helping her throughout the year - never heard a bad word about or against her. The other Vietnamese, a boy a grade younger was probably the loudest of their class. In general, when I see "Vietnamese" kids today, it's most often with a group of Czech friends, mingling successfully. I can't recall having heard or read about any specific case of targeted violence or crime - there's even the Vietnamese drug scene and nobody makes it a topic. Our "far right" party is headed by one Tomio Okamura, so... 😂

[@Dqtube]

There are not many of them because the economy is open and they are not lazy to work. Many of them started in the past in small stalls and food kiosks and now they have their own shops and restaurants and their children can do whatever they want. Thanks to the shared services, newcomers can easily make money there too. The only rule is to do your homework and find out basic information about the country and the laws and enter the country through legal channels, not through some shady smuggler. Those who for whatever reason use smugglers may end up in some illegal activity or harsh working environment without many basic rights and protection mechanisms.

*International laws* are very clear on the South China Sea: - parts of it belong to some ASEAN countries, including Vietnam 🇻🇳, - the rest of it is the international water, - no part of it belongs to China🇨🇳 or Taiwan🇹🇼.

They must be facing a lot of racism

[@PhamNicolas99]

Not really. It's been over 40 years

[@Elkcib]

@ hope that is the case. During the 70’s & 80’s a lot of Asian children faced a lot of racism from white kids in America because a lot of their father was in the Vietnam war, so these white kids put a lot of blame on these Asian children. Even though they were not Vietnamese.

[@tatjana7008]

I do enjoy my bamboo ceiling in Germany. But fortunately I'm Korean and can go back to my country Don't want put my children through layers of racism in Europe

[@Elkcib]

@@tatjana7008 yeah, I don’t blame you. All that racism can cause a lot of PTSD later on in life. However, the competitions in Asian countries are great in terms of education. Hopefully, your kids can have a good balance will have a wonderful life.

[@PhamNicolas99]

@@Elkcib wow, that's very sad. Especially since the US should have never entered the conflict. On some degree there will always be racism. But after 40 years, many Czechs have become used to and even appreciate the Vietnamese community.

[@TamNguyen-sk2pj]

Do they all speak English too?

[@Worldaffairslover]

The Czech Republic is the most random country

[@Winston_Chu]

Wow Vietnamese are the third largest group in the country that's crazy give it a couple years the main language will be Vietnamese 😮😂😂😂

[@Gab-ll6ds]

Are the Czech Republic let the Muslims in? We don’t see any, do we now?

[@josefkos9986]

We don't really keep anyone out - there wasn't a migration similar to the one after the Vietnam war during the communist years (there were many exchange students from the Muslim countries, some staying) - nowadays, new arrivals just mostly seek out the larger communities in Germany I guess, Czechia won't be a first choice also income-wise. But we do have a Muslim church organization, with the people better integrated as they have trickled in naturally. You'll sometimes see a woman in the scarf at a shopping mall but that's about it, Muslims here just blend in. From my own experience, a Muslim colleague in manufacture who lived here for years and spoke fluent Czech (wearing a beard but clothing like the next dude) would divide his break to pray, nobody was bothered and he was well accepted, with men and women alike casual with him.

[@Cytc33]

Countries should be picky about who they let in.

[@josefkos9986]

@@Cytc33 I mean in general, I'd say we have healthy policies and we did our thing during some of EU's open border madness. We haven't had any problems with radicalization to this day as a result. Doesn't mean people aren't even more wary now of course, seeing the results elsewhere.

[@Victim_of_Korean_drama]

​@@Cytc33 I agree. Forced assimilation won't work especially with people with conflicting culture.

Vietnam's communist officials literally sold these younger folks' parents for cheap labor, but I am glad the younger generation now moving upward, not just day laborers!

[@cestmirberka6994]

their wages were the same as Czech' s .

[@PhamNicolas99]

lol you know nothing. It was a great oportunity for them. They might have been paid less than the czech average at the time, but it was more than they could have made in Vietnam. My parents came here to study and work and the fact that they were allowed to stay after the revolution was just a bonus. Many of my parent's friends decided to go back instead and now they live a very comfortable life in VN.

About 15 years ago I met a Czech chick visiting the US. I'm Vietnamese so she bluntly told me they didn't like Vietnamese people but that she liked me. I didn't judge her for it and ended up sleeping with her that night. Lol.

[@minhsun5441]

After 15 years , you still thinking of her ? " A 1 shoot wonder". secondly, vietnamese has bad altitude that why people doesnt like. But Vietnamese altitude very good at dealing with all the crook , racist and rubbish in other country.

[@vikingsailorboy]

Czech people don’t like very many nationalities in general. Their approach is more “We’re not racist. We hate everyone equally”

This is not the cold war anymore ??? i am not a communist fan but i love my country and Vietnam history and willing to fight for Vietnam to protect our homeland and i don't hate capitalism, democracy, socialism, politics.etc all i care about is peace, stability and independence for everyone !!! Every country should have the rights to be neutral !!! Even if they're socialist who care ? Is not like im gonna discriminate you because we have different ideologies ? That what freedom and peace all about ??? Vietnam motto is independence- freedom- happiness !!! Let pratice a safe and free ideologies space and do not spread hatred ❤ i hope everyone could be who they are and not shy away from being a democrat or communist because that our human rights !!! Vietnam have a good relationship with Czech Republic Is not Vietnam fault they're what they're because of France colonialism and certain circumstances !!! Vietnam government and the Vietnamese support peace, stability and neutrality that all you need to know... my grandpa is a high ranking Communist soldier in the War, all his friend and his village suffer by American war crime but he still framed all the picture of American president when they visiting Vietnam !!! I live in a traditional south socialist family and they all love peace and are happy when Vietnam befriend with the world i know that for a fact... Im not a communist but I still love my country for who they're and i hope Vietnam will improved for the better i never blamed my country for their ideologies situation because i see with my own eye and ear that Vietnam is willing to try to be better... i love Vietnam and Czech Republic no matter what their ideologies status is aslong as they don't spread hatred... im all for supporting peace, neutrality, stability, and country that willing to improved for the better communist or not 🥰
