Another deathly virus that is similar to COVID-19 is the Genocidal virus which infected only Dega people in the Central Highlands in Vietnam. The Genocidal virus causes Dega people to lose ancestral lands, language death, culture destroyed, identity extinguished and environmental habitat destroyed. The genocidal started to infect Dega people since North Communist Vietnam took over the Central Highlands in 1975 and slowly destroyed Dega people society from the leaking of genocidal policies of the communist Vietnam regime. Dega people have nothing left, they used to be a group of people with honest, humble, respectful, hardworking, living harmoniously with nature, obey adult and loving children, but today, their society is full of robberies, drunkard, prostitution.
Another aspect of the genocidal virus turns Dega people become the slave on their ancestral land. Their life will be long drudgery and humiliation.

Nothing cuts me more deeply as I read those lines! The fissures are deep and wide between our cultures and races.
While growing up as a child neither my grandparents or parents regard the VNmese indigenous people as foreigners - for they know better!
It's differently today. Our pains and experiences have made us ethnocentricity.
All of us have suffered during and after the war. I know you read/heard the horrific plights of our 'people'.
No one is happy with the communists then or now.
Yes, it would seem that the 'vnmese' people have got on with their lives, but that is only on the surface. Don't forget, like 'you', 'we' too want to rise up and seek justice and freedom.
So, let's focus on this greatest threat; that is the VNmese Communist Party.
I believe, together we can prevail. Don't let this hatred divides us. We are stronger together.
