Vietnamese interview | What Vietnamese people think about America

[@o.b.a.g6411]

I used to live in Hanoi a moth ago and I moved back to the U.S I miss Vietnam every single day since I got here! I dont know what I am doing in here! My happiness! My home is Vietnam now... Vietnamese people are lovely! (Im writing this while I just have a picture of my Vietnamese Girlfriend next to my laptop) I never imagined having something serious since I got to Vietnam... I'M GOING BACK HOME.

[@Nls007]

Thank you for sharing! What a lovely people. Friendly, well spoken and open minded. I had expected mass resentment over the war but instead found an open minded people that were fair and took complexity into account. They’re also surprisingly knowledgeable about the workings of the country rather than going off of stereotypes. If anyone from Vietnam sees this and understands English, this American is very impressed! I hope you continue to develop into the lovely nation you’re meant to be!

[@SlowVietnamese]

thank you for your kind words!

[@OffsideEspresso]

I am from United States 🇺🇸 and I love Vietnam 🇻🇳 ❤!

[@shahidshaipov2841]

u loved them so much that u dropped 7 million tons of bombs on them 😂😂 u burned them alive u poisoned them with agent orange ?? fucking hypocrite

[@alci720]

me too. When I am in Vietnam I don't want to come back. And I've lived in America my entire life. I won't say my age though. lol

[@christianh.6797]

You are stupid, they want to abuse you... We already know that kind of behavior in Germany

[@freedomfyter]

Notice there were no negative words about America just positive. I hope we can forget about the past and have a great future relationship.

[@vici9182]

As a German this is a huge culture shock! Most of the people you interviewed seemed to have quite a positive opinion while in Germany people are very critical (especially about the US). I am still a little confused, this is just such a different approach to life than what I am used to. Thank you very much for the video!

[@SlowVietnamese]

Thank you for sharing!

[@BirneGilmore]

Hehe, I feel you (auch als Deutscher ;) ). Here in Germany we think that the US people are polite bit not honest. Also the whole economic structure is build on hard capitalism without keeping the social aspects in mind (thinking about bad paiments, retirements and healthcare). Also, the states have a big problem with racism and gun violence..... also supported by one of the two political parties. I was in the states a couple times and like the country from the eyes of a tourist or part-time resident, but I would never chose to live there 😅

[@JAMtastesgood]

@@BirneGilmore Disclaimer: I'm a white male so my perspective is quite limited compared to the different minorities in this country Yeah as an American I agree with a lot of what you said. However, the point I'd say is touchy is how racist the country as a whole is--there's this idea that everyone you encounter is blatantly racist due to media surrounding actions by specific people but this isn't exactly true. I think in reality, the U.S. is more open to discussing topics or actions that are borderline racist and have public atonement or amends for these actions. I think that it's through this discussion the country may be perceived as more racist than other countries, while it is actually less so -- we are just having these discussions while other countries are not (as much). There is still plenty of racism though, I just think it's about as equal as other 'Western' countries

[@16_marvin68]

Although In the past there was a very sad war between America and Vietnam, but now Vietnam actually became the country with the highest ratio on its people who loves America

[@briancrawford69]

@@BirneGilmore lol America has more guns than any nation and it's not even close, yet when people are being shady with how they calculate gun violence we aren't even near the top. The media loves to make it sound like people are just mowed down daily in mass shootings. Take away the gang violence and the gun deaths drop by a massive amount just right there. Also racism is not an issue in America but theylve to make you think it is. It's fine to be racist to white people now but most white people don't give a shit about race in America. Unless you grew up here or havekved here for a good amount of time then your view of America will probably be very inaccurate because it's distorted by a liberal media. America has social programs, the problem here is liberals have used them to keep minorities dependent on government and abuse them so they don't function worth a shit and most Americans don't want socialized medicine. It's not even needed if once again the politicians would stop being corrupt and allowing laws or policies that inflate the cost of health care. Bottom line is if you need medical attention in America you're not going to be turned away or go without. Also I think any nation that tries to take away guns from citizens shouldn't ever be trusted. They serve three very important roles. 1. Self protection, especially when it's a person that is much more physically weaker and unable to defend themselves just by force alone. 2. It's is the only way to fight back against a tyrannical government if it ever comes to that. 3. It makes the thought of try to invade that country many times more difficult. Funny now that liberals in America want our guns taken away yet they're screaming we need to get them to citizens in Ukraine. It would also be a fantastic idea for the government of Taiwan to start letting the people arm themselves, because if millions of people were armed then China would be way more hesitant to try an invasion

[@bledeaandrei4103]

God bless the Vietnam ............ what beautiful people and education.

[@socomxx]

Finally a country that doesn't completely take a crap on America lol, this video put a smile on my face. I appreciate you Vietnam.

[@ElectronFieldPulse]

Great video, very interesting opinions. I do wonder if they were being a bit polite, it is almost weird when people don't fiercely criticize America, it isn't what I am used to. Anyways, great video, thanks!

[@SlowVietnamese]

I think in general, Vietnamese think pretty positively about America. Its named "Mỹ" in Vietnamese, means "beautiful" (Sino-Vietnamese). There are big Vietnamese community in US too and they usually help their relatives in Vietnam or tell about how nice is the US

[@damiann4734]

They either do not follow all the negative news or they only look at the positive aspects. What I do know is vietnamese do not care much for politics as it's something they are not used to in Vietnam.

[@petejo]

This was an awesome video! In addition to seeing everyone’s responses, I really enjoy getting a glimpse of local locations in Vietnam. Thanks for sharing!

[@SlowVietnamese]

cảm ơn em! Im happy that you like it :D

[@journeyingjay3458]

As an American, I love Vietnam! I’m sure you’ve heard this many times, but I do want to apologize for the horrible conflict we involved ourselves in. Many valuable people were lost on both sides, my uncle was killed. I hold absolutely nothing against the Vietnamese people or your beautiful country. I would love to visit, and I am looking at opportunities to study there!

[@SlowVietnamese]

thank you for sharing!

[@pingasblobfish97]

What the hell why apologize to The Viets? You didn't serve in Vietnam so why apologize you don't have that right..

[@Zdusa]

Before moving to VN the first things I thought of were Ha Long bay, the iconic Ao Dai and conical hat, and foods like Pho and spring rolls. Now ater 8 years here, I think of it as my new home. I love it here. Sights, people, language, and culture. Much love for VN from the US.

[@judebryanco966]

I was impressed, Vietnamese people answered very smartly they are very open minded and after suffering on Vietnam war they didn't hold the grudge against the America. Most of their opinion are very reasonable, well explained and detailed answers. No wondsr why Vietnam is growing so fast. Greetings from Philippines we love you

[@daltonrhone6248]

Love the street interviews like this!

To the girl that likes American food, all I have to say is come and help yourself because you guys have us pho and it's some delicious stuff!

My cousin visited Vietnam when she was still in the navy and said it was awesome. I'd love to visit there someday

[@The_SinReaper]

What a lovely video. Enjoyed seeing and hearing their honest opinions.

[@ArnoldTeras]

The Vietnamese people are so kind and gentle and benevolent...but I do miss your older yellow flag. :)

[@SlowVietnamese]

I see

[@ArnoldTeras]

@@SlowVietnamese Please forgive me, sister...but it does look more benevolent and beautiful. Do most Vietnamese people truly hate the older government?

[@machinesandthings7121]

Vietnamese people are well informed on the USA. I am in agreement with almost everything said. I hope relationship between the US, and Vietnam can continue to improve. Much love and respect from the USA.

[@0ktk]

Aw they're all so nice. I think the Vietnamese people are wealthy in the ways that actually matter 🇺🇸❤🇻🇳

[@GenericUrbanism]

As an American: 0:57 this person nails it. We have very big roads/stroads When I think of Vietnam 🇻🇳, I think of the flag, pho, tube houses, motorcycles/motorbikes, bah minh, and much more. Vietnam may have its problems, but it’s a beautiful country. Love Vietnam from North Carolina, United States.

Thật ra người Việt Nam rất là thân thiện, rất là lịch sự. Và mình đã từng sống ở Đà Nẵng khoảng hai năm rưỡi. Mình đã được sự giúp đỡ và sự chăm sóc rất nhiều với nhiều người trong cuộc sống. Ví dụ chủ nhà, chủ quán ăn, nhân viên lễ tân… Mình rất nhớ Đà Nẵng, và rất hi vọng, mình sẽ trở về và sống ở Đà Nẵng nữa.😊❤

[@darrenlamb2277]

Thank you so much for your videos! I know you put a lot of effort into conducting the interviews and editing footage. Your videos are so informative and also a great way to practice my listening.

hopefully you can do a street interview asking boys and girls what their ideal type is. 👍

[@FRESHTHINGSCLUB]

nice video!

[@SlowVietnamese]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@fredlandry6170]

I’m surprised that the Vietnamese don’t hate Americans because of the war.

[@SlowVietnamese]

I think the majority they can forgive easily. We learn to forgive. There are many wars that Vietnamese fought. 20 years fighting with America, 1000 years Chinese domination plus many fights with Chinese hundreds years after...

[@victorportela11]

I admire the ability of the Vietnamese people to overcome the scars left by US during the war and move forward. The video is very biased towards the positive side of the US…not sure if negative comments were removed or if all ppl have same good vision about US.

[@SlowVietnamese]

I think its important to be objective when making street interviews. I didn't remove any negative comments nor interviewees opinion

Mình từng mơ về 1 nước Mỹ nổi tiếng, giàu có ,có sức ảnh hưởng văn hóa. Nhưng truyền thông thì ai lại đi phô bày cái xấu của nước mình cho nước ngoài xem nhỉ. Mình nghĩ nếu bạn giỏi và nỗ lực thì đi đâu bạn cũng thành công được. Người Mỹ có câu cỏ nhà hàng xóm luôn xanh hơn. Con người luôn không hài lòng với hiện tại dù họ giàu như nào đi nữa. Nước Mỹ thì tốt cho công việc nhưng như là mơ thì chắc hẳn ai cũng biết câu trả lời

[@SlowVietnamese]

Nếu bạn xem hết video thì sẽ thấy không phải tất cả mọi người được phỏng vấn trong video này đều mong muốn tới Mỹ. Mỗi người một ý kiến và mình tôn trọng họ. Mình đồng ý là người giỏi thì ở đâu cũng thành công được, nhưng không phải ai cũng có tài năng. Ở Việt Nam lương trung bình của một nhân viên bàn là 20k/h = 1$/h (nếu biết tiếng Anh). Với mức lương như vậy thì họ làm cả đời cũng không thể mua được một ngôi nhà nhỏ cho họ, hoặc chăm sóc bố mẹ bệnh. Trong khi ở Mỹ lương thấp nhất cho nhân viên bàn là 10$/h (mình không rõ 100%), chưa kể tips. Cứ cho là tiền thuê, ăn uống này nọ thì họ vẫn có thể tiết kiệm được mấy trăm đô một tháng để gửi về nhà cho bố mẹ, hơn là không tiết kiệm được đồng nào khi ở Việt Nam. Mình biết nhiều mặt trái của nước Mỹ nhưng nếu ai đó nghĩ nước Mỹ đẹp, muốn đi Mỹ thì mình tôn trọng ý kiến đó của họ

[@icecp4279]

My country got invaded by the US and people to this day are still not happy about it. It's surprising how forgiving Vietnamese people are.

[@SlowVietnamese]

Honestly, I think we have more negative feelings toward the country that ruled us for a thousand years and kept invading from time to time. Of course there were many terrible things happened during American war but if you compare 20 years under American with a thousand years + many many wars caused by that country, you can understand a little more. Plus, US has helped Vietnam a lot to develop economy, that helps people lives getting better (for a major part), and maybe many other reasons too

[@GypsieSeeker]

I have read that many Vietnamese people blame America for the war in Ukraine and support “Uncle Putin”. I think some people you interviewed were too polite (or afraid) to give their real opinions. But good practice. Thanks.

[@SlowVietnamese]

I understand what you mean. It's risky if you talk about politics publicly. But aside from many people support Putin, there are a lot of people hate wars too. We had many wars in the past so we understand how is it living in war time.

[@cyrusiithegreat2824]

Vietnamese here I wouldn't say the War is a right thing but i can understand why Putin and Russia have to do that, i do hope both side could sign an agreement and stop the war, also we don't like the current Ukraine gorvement that disrespect Soviet hero who sacrifire their life to stop the Nazi and support the Fascism idealogy so most of us doesn't support Ukraine.

[@journeyingjay3458]

The Vietnamese people I’ve talked to and heard from have mainly been on Ukraine’s side. America and Vietnam have become fast friends ever since that horrible war.

[@Virsho]

and people in my country get triggered when someone even looks like russian

[@ruruama3666]

Very interesting! I'm from Spain, not the US, so I might be wrong, but I think they have a very idealistic image of the US. They don't mention problems like shootings, racism, drugs, etc. I think they don't know the bad side of the country. Also: Vietnam looks very beautiful! The background looks so peaceful

[@ElementalWarrior1999]

Memory of this horrific war should never be forgotten, yes US started the war and paid dearly for it so did the Vietnamese, but that doesn’t mean time and new generation doesn’t heal things, US and Vietnam are very good friends, which is a beautiful thing to see 💖💖🫶!

[@alci720]

Until you encounter the gun and senseless violence here which is nonexistent in Vietnam...it can be very discouraging.

[@SlowVietnamese]

agree!

you can come to Vietnam and see it : )

[@gigagigaa9696]

I wasn't expecting this, you either didn't show people who talked bad about america or vietnam is not what I think it should be. there is no chance someone wouldn't mention war with america, there should definitely be huge amount of people whose ancestors died in that war. I just don't get it if most of vietnamese think this way how did it happen? what changed their mind. they were fightning against america with all their force and now they love america, how is that possible in that short period of time?

[@SlowVietnamese]

it's up to you if you don't want to believe it.
