I have an acquaintance who will not eat in any Vietnamese restaurant because of what the North Vietnamese did to people in the 1960s.

Do you avoid all Japanese products and people because of what was done by their military and government in WWII?

Do you avoid all Chinese food because of Mao Zedong's purges after WWII?


That would be incredibly stupid initially, self-limiting perpetually and would result in even more extensive ignorance on your part.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
