No - Met and Worked with them here in the USA
in San Francisco {Chinese-Vietnamese}, San Jose
{Vietnamese} and Oakland {Laotians and Cambodians}

Used to Rent an empty inner-block Lot {45'x50'}
in East Oakland to a Family of Hmong for use as
an inner-city Vegatable Garden growing plot. The
Hmong Women with the Black Head Wraps were
there Every Day Working in the Garden.

When I was a Kid it used to have a Potting Shed
{Green House} on it with Garden on it. The City
came along in the 1960s and we had to remove
the Shed. One Block over had a working Plant
Nursery on the inner-block Lot {1-Acre} plus four
street-side Homes connected to it : That Family
sold-out in the 1960s and the new owners cleared
it an 4 Apartment Building and Parking Lots. My
Brother-in-Law's Family also had a Home with an
attached Flower Nursery Green Houses a half-dozen
blocks away and they to sold-out and moved in
the 1960s {more Apartments}. That part of East
Oakland used to be called the "Fruitvale" District

The Hmong people are not the same as the regular Vietnamese people.There
were some Hmong in Vietnam who helped our U.S.Military.After the Vietnam
Conflict(War), some Hmong people wanted to move to America.fed govt was
giving the Hmong short schrift.The Hmong are Good people.

There are some Vietnamese people in Mississippi.A lot of them live along
the Mississippi Gulf Coast, in the Fishing Industry.Shrimpers, and such
like.
