Her Dual Citizenship Brings Prejudice
她的双重国籍导致了偏见 She is Vietnam's top-ranked
female tennis player.Still,Noel Huynh Mai Huynh is criticized by the
state-run press and jeered by Vietnamese crowds who do not accept her as one of
their own. "I play tennis for my family,"Huynh said before the
Southeast Asian Games,a regional competition that runs through
Saturday."There's a lot of pressure because I know a lot of people, they don't
like me very much." Huynh,18,was born in the US territory of
Guam.She is the first"Viet kieu."or overseas Vietnamese,to receive dual
citizenship from the Vietnam government to compete for Vietnam.
Huynh was four years old when her family moved back to Ho Chi Minh
City(formerly Saigon) in 1989.She did not speak Vietnamese then but has
since mastered the language and now considers herself more Vietnamese than
American. Still,many are wary.She is thought of as spoiled
because of her American passport.It doesn't seem to matter that she's never been
on the US mainland. She and her four siblings—all accomplished
tennis players—have been passed over for less talented Vietnamese players.
"We practice in Vietnam,we grew up in Vietnam...and they cannot
beat us so they try to keep us out of competitions so we don't beat them,"said
brother,Jean-Pierre Qui Phu Huynh Jr. The 65-year-old family
patriarch,also named Jean-Pierre,is their inspiration.In perfect
English,he recounts the path that led him from Vietnam in 1975 and back 14
years later. He fought for the US-backed South Vietnamese army
and was the tennis coach for former President Nguyen Van Thieu.He put his
wife and children on one of the last helicopters leaving the US Embassy before
Saigon fell April 30,1975.He spent the next six months searching for his
family,finding them in California. They moved to Guam,where
French.educated Jean-Pierre became a top tennis player with a big house
and booming business building tennis coups.Still,something was missing.So he
decided to go home in 1987. The family,all US citizens,returned
to Vietnam two years later.Most refugees were too scared to think of visiting
them. The elder Huynh coached his children up to eight hours a
day,six days a week,and tried to make sure they got to play. He
became friends with former Prime Minister Vo Van Kiet,a tennis fan,and built the
country's largest tennis complex in Ho Chi Minh City.He brought in international
tennis competitions and urged Vietnam to strengthen its national team.Still,the
discrimination persisted. "I don't care about anybody who
cheers for the other player,"his daughter said."It's OK for me,but sometimes I'm
kind of sad about that because I'm on the national team but thev alwavs want the
other players to beat me." With Vietnam hosting the Southeast
Asian Games for the first time and encouraging about 2.5 million Viet kieu
to return,she was given a chance at this event. "With the
participation of Huynh Mai Huynh,the Vietnamese tennis team will be stronger,"
said Nguyen Hong Minh,head of the Vietnamese SEA Games sports delegation."This
is in our policy to expand international relations as well as win the support of
the overseas Vietnamese community." She was eliminated from
doubles and mixed doubles.Her strength is singles.but she said her
coaches didn't select her for that event. Huynh says all
she wants is to represent the country she considers home. "I'll
stay here,"she said,"and I'll play for Vietnam forever."
