Vietnam has been courting the US diplomatically and commercially for several years now.
They want a piece of the economic action and to establish a closer relationship with the US for security concerns (they are rather worried about China).
Seems wierd with the Vietnam conflict not all that far back in history, but necessity makes strange bedfellows.

pho definitely is cheaper there. but, it doesn't taste as good as here. seriously (i visited a few months ago). i don't know if it's lack of preservatives or freshness or what it is. it just doesn't taste as good.

Most derogatory racial terms have an etymology that can be traced back to something "acceptable." this is no justification to use them.

I would say "******" is a derogatory term. "Charlie" is like "yankee", "kraut", "ivan", or "jerry" to me
Edit. ^^ yup see g00k is censored.

AFAIK, kraut is supposed to be racially derogatory, like frog, limey, beloved patriot etc.
charlie, ivan, jerry etc aren't.

Well I'm nearly 100% German and I'm even related to one of Germany's most famous politicians (no, not Hitler) but I am not offended.
Call me a kraut, I like being German. We're the most intelligent of the Euro ethnicities.
Why should you care if someone says "charlie"? Do you not like who you are? And even if you do, why does it matter so much?
