Dinks in Ho Chi Minh City
Found this on Google Maps:
Soooo....if you want a "Dink" or two, you'll find them in District 4 (236/, 21 Hoà Hảo, phường 3, Hồ Chí Minh, Vietnam). Tell 'em Mike sent ya!
************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
noun, Slang: Extremely Disparaging and Offensive.
1.
a contemptuous term used to refer to a Southeast Asian, especially a Vietnamese.
1965-70, Americanism; compare Australian slang dink Chinese person; perhaps back formation from dinky, reinforced by rhyme with Chink
Usage note Expand
This term was a slur applied to a Vietcong or North Vietnamese soldier during the Vietnam War.
