Counterpoint, calling any Vietnamese person Charlie is very offensive.

  Declaring a name “offensive” to an entire race of people is a stereotype and also offensive.

  Which is kinda strange since the VC were very effective.

    The VC didn’t call themselves VC. Any Vietnamese person you meet in the US today is unlikely to be “VC”. It’s like calling Germans Nazis.

    The NVA won the war eventually

  Most Vietnamese in America are from South Vietnam or descended from those from there, so that's probably one of the bigger reasons for their offense.
