^A truly sad statement, only capable of coming out from insecure individuals. Face it. Like other people in Southeast Asia, Vietnamese people mixed too!!!! Look at Lao people. Our people had no real attachment to Southeast Asia up until the late 700 ADs and yet we're more open to accepting ALL people within the land as our brothers and sisters, including the Lao who are heavily mixed with Khmer blood like in Southern Laos. Some Lao are brown and some are yellow or white, but we still don't leave anyone out! I've seen Vietnamese with attitudes like yours and I truly feel sorry for you.
Do you think the Chinese will open their arms for you like brothers and sisters? NO wake up! The reality is, you're still not one of their people and never will be, culturally yes, but never as their own people. The reality is you're country is located in Southeast Asia. Let's see how things turn out if you Vietnamese come up with a devise that can "relocate" all of Vietnam and move it to East Asia, like next to Taiwan or something. Do you think the Chinese will be so open to helping you as your Southeast Asian neighbors have for thousands of years? No. In the long run, their only interest is helping out their OWN people and you know that!
Cambodia or the Khmer people for thousands of years have always been "selfless" and "giving" towards their neighbors and friends and all you can do is acknowledge your arrogance simply by implementing the "few tricks the Chinese taught you" to belittle your giving neighbors? Pathetic and truly sad!

missy you go back to read my posts. I rejected the classification of Vietnamese as Sinitic

It's obvious because Vietnamese weren't Chinese before the Han coming down and dominate North Vietnam. While I don't support Vietnamese being under MK, I also rejected Vietnamese being under Sino-Tibetan.
And what is all that talk with Vietnamese and Chinese? They are two different people and only a stupid Khmer troll would associate Vietnamese with Chinese. He was the only one who called Vietnamese people "Southern Chinese", saying the two looked exactly alike with chinesey eyes, ugly yellow skin etc. I responded by pointing out that there are differences between Vietnamese and Cantonese

Now let me tell you this Vietnamese would be offended if you call them "Southern Chinese". They fought for thousand of years to gain independence from China and how do you think they would think if you call them Southern Chinese like the stupid Khmer troll here?
