When Mohammed Ali chose to be a conscientious objector, he said, "Ain't none of them Viet Cong ever called me a n_____." He lived in a nation, born in Louisville, that did not treat him as equal, that often denied him justice. Rosa Parks did see Ali as a hero, which, indeed, he was.

That could have been because he was never around the Viet Cong.

Vietnam has a history of racism. Most was toward the Chinese, but their word for black people was "burnt". Their word for white people was "uncooked".
