How are the mixed-race children left behind by the US military during the Vietnam War now?

Kissinger said the Vietnam War: It was a tragedy of the United States, and the United States should not have broken into it in the first place.

If the Vietnam War is a tragedy of the United States, it is even more tragic for the Vietnamese people. Americans returned to their own country in despair, leaving Vietnam with not only a lot of loss of life, but also sold cigarettes, many mixed-race children and a bunch of widows.

So, how are those hybrids doing now?

Let's start from the beginning.

1, hormonal stimulation, so that American soldiers and Vietnamese women have a fate. In the war, young men often sing big plays, and young men often have strong physiological needs. How to overcome the troubles caused by hormones?

American soldiers in Vietnam have three ways to solve their physical and emotional problems:

One is to find a Vietnamese girl, fall in love, get married and have children. As a result, many people's marriage problems were solved as soon as the war ended.

However, the number of American soldiers for the purpose of marriage is still small, and many of them just fall in love, soothe their psychology and satisfy their desires.

Second, American soldiers in South Vietnam entered the "brothels" that existed in South Vietnam, which was the choice of many American soldiers at that time. After all, they are not responsible, just giving money.

Third, some American soldiers who don't pay attention to eating directly break through the bottom line of being a man and commit rape, which brings both physical and mental harm to Vietnamese girls.

No matter what kind of relationship between American soldiers and Vietnamese girls, one result is that as long as no measures are taken, there is a high probability of giving birth to children, and all the children born are mixed-race children of the United States and Vietnam.

1973, most American troops were evacuated. By 1975, all American soldiers were no longer in Vietnam.

The woman who used to be with American soldiers became a widow and the child became a child without a father.

According to statistics, the US military officially started the Vietnam War from 1965 (before a small number of consultants came to Vietnam in advance) and basically ended at 1973. It took a total of eight years and about 560,000 soldiers participated in the war. When they completely evacuated from Vietnam, they left behind nearly 50,000 mixed-race children.

What will happen to these hybrids?

"American-Vietnamese hybrids" came to the United States across the ocean. At that time, there were many mixed-race Americans and Vietnamese in Vietnam, which became a social problem after the Vietnam War.

Therefore, the United States has put forward several policies.

1, 1975 "children's air transport"

This is just two years after the end of the Vietnam War, and North Vietnam unified the whole of Vietnam.

Because of years of war, there are a large number of orphans in Vietnam, some are abandoned mixed-race children, and some are Vietnamese local orphans whose parents have died.

1In April 1975, the United States launched the "Airborne Orphans Action", with France, Australia and Canada as partners. A total of 10300 children were evacuated and adopted by parents in developed countries in Europe and America. Among them, the United States adopted 1600 orphans.

This action will undoubtedly help the "American-Vietnamese mixed-race orphans" in Vietnam. However, during the transportation, there was still a plane crash, which killed 78 babies and 35 staff members.

2. "Orderly Departure Plan" of1979

This plan is the second wave of mixed-race immigrants from the United States and Vietnam.

The plan stipulates that all children of American citizens and their family members can immigrate to the United States.

What does this mean? His main target group is: American-Vietnamese mixed-race children and their families, who can immigrate to the United States and give them green cards.

But the premise of this plan is that American soldiers admit that they are their own children and former lovers.

This plan can't provide protection for those who don't admit their lover and children, or just "show their marriage".

3. Asian American Children Act 1982

With the increase of mixed-race immigrants, Americans know more about Vietnamese mixed-race people.

1982 re-enacted the Asian-American Children's Law. This time, instead of letting "American-Vietnamese hybrids" come to the United States, they will only be given green cards, but will be given American citizenship directly, with the same rights as all American citizens.

The American government seems to have been making up for the mistakes made by soldiers.

4. 1987 Family Law for Asian American Children

The promulgation of this law has made a major change, allowing the immediate family members of mixed-race children to immigrate to the United States and give them nationality directly. This solved the worries of those immediate relatives of mixed blood.

Laws and regulations have been promulgated again and again, as if the United States is atoning again and again. Although the United States did not win, it did great harm to Vietnam.

However, despite repeated compensation and good policies, Americans still have some discrimination against these mixed-race children.

This kind of discrimination is inevitable. After all, black brothers have lived in the United States for hundreds of years and cannot be eliminated, let alone mixed-race Americans and Vietnamese.

What about hybrids who have never been to America? After leaving American soldiers, he gave a new name to "American-Vietnamese mixed blood", which means "dust of life".

This is not a good word, it is discrimination, and it refers to "superfluous things".

Because of the long war with the United States, millions of people in Vietnam died at the hands of the United States. Therefore, these children are classified as heterogeneous, attacked and discriminated against.

Their mothers were also despised and bullied.

Finally, with the opportunity to immigrate to the United States, many mixed-race children and their mothers went to the United States.

However, there are still some mixed-race Americans and Vietnamese who have stayed in Vietnam all their lives.

First, some mothers don't want to go to America. They bear the shame of raising mixed-race children in Vietnam. After all, there is discrimination in America.

Second, some abandoned children were forced to grow up in Vietnam because they didn't get the opportunity to immigrate. As a result, these children have suffered a lot of discrimination in their lives.

In recent years, with the development of time, Vietnamese people's minds have become more and more open, and their tolerance for "American-Vietnamese hybrids" has also increased a lot. After all, the relationship with the United States is much better, and it is no longer the kind of tense and cold face.
