I think 99.9999% of Vietnamese currently in Vietnam understand my blog. They see the trouble the Vietnamese children have born overseas.

…

The 2nd Generation Vietnamese born in the West have trouble as they face 3 problems.

1. They are born in the West and think they are Western?
2. They look Vietnamese but act Western.
3. They aren’t really Western if they are born in North America or Australia, they are First Peoples who are independent folk just trying to live in the modern hard world.

To get a handle on life and always have upward trajectory is this:

1. Work at your local supermarket full time not during school to see how you are either needed or discarded working this job. Finish high school or take a gap year to see how hard it is to eat.

   • If that did not jolt you or you want to grow faster then do this.
2. Go to Vietnam and teach at an English school where your parents were born in Vietnam. Find the city which birthed your parents, which hospital. See the expectations of the students, staff and teachers.

Psychology behind all this:

I think there are a few way to interpret life as a 2nd gen Vietnamese born in Canada

1. Other 2nd generation Vietnamese wants connection and stability with each other once you found others who are compatible. 2nd generation wants to play and work together if they can. They build platforms and businesses to support each other as they are a new group of people in the West. This is the most important point especially in multicultural Canada where this can happen. Not America.
2. Parents – they see you trying to grow and you are trying to find closure and understanding of what was the point of the Vietnam War and all this diaspora working and finding each other for comfort and connection and more.
3. Canadians – they see this as trying to find your way like the 100s of other immigrants in the past. You are here to make things move and make $$$.
4. Rest of the World – Not sure as there are too many variables as now you are Vietnamese born as First Peoples of North America. It is the crazy struggle of just living, growing and having a family they say. Somewhat of a circus trying to make things go.

But what do you really expect of 2nd Generation Vietnamese born in Canada?

That is the biggest question I have.

According to Chatbots, 2nd gen marry other 2nd gen usually as they experience the same problems and history and share the same origin culture.

So that means 2nd generation if similar enough should have seen each other and built together early on.

…

But I don’t know about 2nd gen Vietnamese in numbers that want to build as usually the Western culture expects them to grow fast and assimilate into mainstream culture and disappear in the gene pool.

…

But here you have it, William Nguyen and his brother David did something pretty different in 2020 with BenchTweakGaming.com and the team grew and now we have software and these websites.

…

But what do you really expect 2nd generation of anything to do?

1. They are First Peoples
2. They are 60% origin country at birth when they interact. They kind of act like immigrants … conditioned and altered genes by being birthed here

But they are First Peoples first. So don’t give them a hard time.

…

Did you get to the end???

But you are here for the real truth … It is 3 ways I think or maybe just one depending how you see life:

• In 2007, I got the chance to work in pharmacy. It is just being careful and to lend an ear while deep inside you are ‘high’ medical professional that has it all and security. You just dispense good ways of living. Eating well, living well sitting all high and mighty and lecturing/scolding your patients/customers why they did not study medicine because it was too hard for their brains ??? So you give them candy/food to eat to prevent their illness …
• In 2019, I tried nursing. In practical nursing, you just tell people to get better and learn from their mistakes and you are always learning and elevated. You are in a position sit there to tell and help. You are right next in authority to doctors to tell people how to live. You scold all day and have a sense of power to say how it is in the animal kingdom. You reign as you know balance and hold the entire hospital up running. You basically hold the whole medical system up for the sick people and sick society ..
• Then there is food services and somewhat retail. Working 16 hours a day in food is probably the most hard and good feeling always busy and ‘eating’. Always around people and learning and growing serving people. You really know how to deal with everyone: every useless scum lazy bag on earth. Everyone is useless compared to a 9-5er working full time. The world would fall apart if it wasn’t for your ass working food and retail.

Each of these jobs have big ego. Ego is everything really in the West. Work is ego. Has to be productive and make money directly or indirectly.

Medicine or owning your own business is the takeaway from this final section.

In other words, these ways are the basic ways for a healthy strong ego. And the ego grows and dispenses wisdom, vents and teaches while continually growing and learning and working.

…

But do you see what I am doing with my brother and team?

We are teaching and venting through this blog and our works.

To produce and teach. This is another form. There is some ego but its from Dalits so it is mainly survival against the constant insults and degradation.
