The Vietnamese in Mexico are Vietnamese who immigrated to Mexico. They are also sometimes referred as Vietnamese Mexican (Spanish: Vietnamita Mexicano) which means Mexican with racial origin from Vietnam. Also included are the Vietnamese of Chinese descent (or Hoa) who consider themselves both Chinese and Vietnamese by ethnicity.[2][3] Vietnamese immigration in Mexico began during the 1970s some might've migrated to Mexico during the Manila- Acapulco Galleon Period.[4]
Migration history[edit]
All of the Vietnamese in Mexico are descendants of refugees who fled the suffering of Vietnam War. Refugees were welcomed to Mexico when the nation sent soldiers to help finish the war and save the victims. Many of the Vietnamese population in Mexico own small shops in the major cities and are found in managerial positions.[5][6]
An estimated 10,000 Mexicans are from Vietnamese descent. The main communities are Tijuana, Baja California followed by the state of Puebla, the Guadalajara area and Mexico City. Many Vietnamese Mexicans have relatives in the neighboring United States.[1]
Language[edit]
Most Vietnamese Mexicans can speak Spanish and still can speak Vietnamese. Chinese Vietnamese, since they can consider Chinese and Vietnamese, can speak Chinese aside from Vietnamese and Spanish, while other Chinese Vietnamese can only speak Vietnamese and Spanish.[7][not in citation given]
Religion[edit]
Most of the people are nominally adherents of Mahayana Buddhism with traditional costume of Ancestor worship (Confucian influence). But there is a large number of minority Roman Catholics.[8][9]
