Seattle Times ran an article about strong preference for boy in Vietnam, which to me is madness. Our culture and traditions are murdering thousands if not hundred of thousands baby just because Asian (and specially Vietnam, Chinese, and Indian) have a strong preference for boy. This issue begs an extremely simple question, what if there’s no girl for your boy to continue the lineage? It’s sad that we don’t treat our women better and now abortion is rampage with the government limiting two child per family in Vietnam.
I’m Vietnamese at core, but I have no preference as to if it is a boy or girl as children. It’s sickening to me that people are having abortion because their husband prefer a boy over a girl. It’s madness.
The Peculiar Vietnamese 
The Vietnamese culture is what it is. It needs to change in order to catch up with the West’s standard of gender equality which I think is a good thing. In the mean time, you should shut the fuck up because your disdains for Vietnamese culture is what make most Vietnamese hate Viet Kieu.
Thank You for you kind words. We are what we are but no one has to do exactly as we are.
@ “One of the peculiar Vietnamese”-Stop reading this blog if it pisses you off so much!…I think the author is only trying to open a genuine discussion about our culture so that we (as well as foreigners) can understand it a little better.
