Even tried opening up a restaurant in Virginia but had to close, fearing for his own safety.
How the F did anyone in Virginia know who the hell this guy was unless he went around advertising it. If you get right down to it, in reality 99% of Americans wouldn't be able to tell him apart from any other Vietnamese guy.
