refugees are a “problem” not because they are pathetic victims who drain the state’s resources but because they make visible “a transgression of the social contract between a state and its citizen.”65
OH SNAP!!!! WUT!!! This is sooo true! Like we otherize the problem. We aren't ready to face we are the tormentors, problem makers so we make the victim the problem!!!!!!!!!! wow!

refugee” as a critical idea but also as a social actor whose life, when traced, illuminates the interconnections of colonization, war, and global social change.
How refugee has been misused but also is a presenation of coloinization and war. That is very true and often overlooked.

Vietnamese are underemployed and barely eking out a living, they are still better off in the United States than if they had remained in Vietnam. Because the word “refugee” conjures up images of a desperate people fl eeing a desperate country, Vietnamese workers are presumed to be naturally suited and even grateful to work in boring, repetitive, monot-onous, low-paying, and insecure jobs.
This narrative is so interesting because this idea of "hard working" and assimilation only functions when the immigrant communiy makes the US look good.

“damage-centered” social science research that reinforces and reinscribes a one-dimensional notion of racialized com-munities as “depleted, ruined, and hopeless.”17

so prevalent in the fi eld of refugee studies and focuses instead on how fi rst- and second-generation Vietnamese have created alternative memories and epistemologies that unsettle but at times also confi rm the established public narratives of the Vietnam War and Vietnamese people.
It makes me think about how and which other communities have adopted the Master Narrative of their immigration story?

counts
RIght! They used to see the Vietnam War in numbers and the more numbers places people that were killed and attacked, that's measured success because how else can you measure your wins if not by numbers. But using the same perspective of Body Count and numbers to explain the effect that the US had because the Vietnamese Body Count is not prioritized

In other words, the refugee fl ight-to-resettlement process was full of detours and snags, characterized “by chaos at the end of the war, confusion, and the stark absence of choice for many of those who had ‘evacuated.’”
SO some people didn't even choose to come..?
