A netizen shared a passive-aggressive post telling Singaporeans not to judge Vietnamese people, saying that the rich Vietnamese would never come to Singapore.
Here is the story:
“A lot of Singaporeans tend to generalize how Vietnamese are like based on the ladies you usually see in SG (mail-ordered brides, some may say).
But think about it for a moment. By “buying” a bride, you are selecting a very specific portion of the population. Usually they are from poor background in the countryside.
Educated, middle-class and above ladies from Hanoi or HCM city would never come to Singapore like that.
In fact, rich people in Vietnam would never come to Singapore.
They usually prefer the US or Australia. Because money is not what they need, it’s the kind of Western democracy and suburban lifestyle (big car, big house, etc.) they look for, which Singapore does not have.
So next time you judge a whole people by those you see here, ask yourself whether your sample is representative.”
