Yes!

So as a Vietnamese American, i am surrounded by Viet that are just like as bad as white MAGA and have been dying to see if any Viet MAGA people will face consequences for also being at the coup.

They are just as bad but are not talked about due to language barriers.

I blocked majority of my family on FB because their Consistent posts about lies and crap they believe in.

The political divide is consistent with the rest of the US. Most younger Vietnamese Americans are progressive whilst the older demographic (boomers up) are ardently Republican. I’d wager that the ones you’ve met are in the latter demographic.
