其实，要证明我的观点，不应该比较中国人和印度人，毕竟咱们没有印度人的语言，再
印度对美国也不构成威胁，所以，美国人不会像防备中国人那样防备印度人，要证明我
的观点，可以拿在美国的越南人和伊朗人比较。
为什么拿美国的越南人和伊朗人比较，原因在于，这两个族群有很多共同点
1.人口数量接近，在美国越南人大概有1.5m，伊朗后裔大概有1m（这个有争议，也有说
是50万的，但是无论如何，和越南人基本上在一个数量级上）；
2.母国类似，越南是东南亚小霸，人口80m，伊朗是中东小霸，人口70m，这两个国家近
几十年和美国关系都不好；
3.在美人群的来源相似，越南人主要是75年从南越逃到美国的流亡者，伊朗人很多是77
-79年逃到美国的巴列维王朝的流亡者，扎根美国的时间都很接近；
4.英语都不是母语，并且这两个族群的文化和欧美文化差别都很大；
