		<description>girl714 - kam ouen / thank you. 
I couldn&#039;t have said it any better. 
I was quite involved with the Vietnamese club in high school, and am therefore aware of the discrimination that Amerasians have suffered in Viet Nam and here in the States, it&#039;s a disgrace on both sides. While it was a terrible act Luong did, it seems many people are unaware of the circumstances that brought it on, at least partially. I asked on another website about Amerasians with American mothers and Vietnamese fathers and got a lot of nonsense about it, that there is no such thing, but there have to be some, as some American women were involved in the conflict as well. (usually as nurses, as depicted in the show China Beach) .. do you have any sources that could help me with this project?</description>

		<description>DO YOU PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND THE MAN HAD A DRUG HABIT FOR YEARS? How many crackhead/junkies you know are in the right state of mind? Give me a freaking BREAK!

And as for the stupid &quot;disgrace&quot; bullish....If you look closely, Lam Luong is not full Vietnamese. He is half. (most likely half black) and probably was a product of the “war” due to his age.   A lot of people don’t understand the persecution that half Vietnamese war babies go through.  They are USED by their distant family members as a way to get to this country.  (After the influx of the “boat” people), there were several ways to come to the US from Vietnam.  One was through the “Vien Con Lai” which roughly translates to Agency for Amerasians/Half Vietnamese and you could bring your other family members with you.  Once these people came to America, these Amerasian’s “family members” leave them high and dry.  These people abandoned these kids because they don’t want any other Vietnamese people to know that their daughter/sister/aunt had a child some foreign war soldier.  These “war babies”  are EVERYWHERE, especially in the Midwest and Southern parts of the United States.  Many of them barely making any money, and these people see themselves as Vietnamese, but a lot of Vietnamese people don’t accept them as being Vietnamese.   They are not accepted as Whites, Blacks, Latinos (whatever their other ethnic half might be) because they grew up Vietnamese with a Vietnamese name.

I’m not saying what Lam Luong did was right, but the man had a long driven drug addiction.   He did not do it in the right mental state.  As him being a disgrace, he should be a disgrace to the human race, not to Vietnamese people. GET FREAKING OVER IT PEOPLE.   If you want to play the race card, play the full hand, would you?   Take the good AND the bad with the all around knowledge. Not just see a Vietnamese name and feel disgraced. GEESH~!</description>

		<description>If there was ever a justification for the death penalty, it would be this case. These children were innocent victims, did nothing to deserve the fate handed to them by someone they loved and trusted. He finally breaks down and confesses, speaks to an attorney and then recants. He isn&#039;t a man, he&#039;s a coward and he deserves everything that he has coming to him.</description>
