Anti-Vietnamese sentiment

Anti-Vietnamese sentiment (Vietnamese: chủ nghĩa bài Việt Nam) involves hostility or hatred that is directed towards Vietnamese people, or the government of Vietnam. This may be due to negative perceptions created by historical tensions, ethnic negative perceptions, wars, or xenophobic sentiments that emerged from Vietnamese diasporic communities. National or regional discrimination can also occur.

Additionally, xenophobia towards the Vietnamese may extend from cultural, political, or economic divisions, such as Vietnam being situated within the affected Global South (mostly developing countries) or anti-communists being hostile against Vietnamese communist rule.

Vietnam is mostly Kinh majority, but is also a multiethnic country.
