"Why is Vietnam so poor while Vietnamese are so smart?
I'm Vietnamese.
The fact that Vietnamese are “smart”, not intelligent, make them a bunch of selfish people.
Many time I got cut ahead while queueing. I once waited in a line in the supermarket, then there was a girl, who just cut ahead of me like it's a natural thing to do, putting her stuff on the counter. I ask her to queue like everyone else, and she said: “You're a man, don't act like a girl”. The sad thing is, the cashier nourish that trait by processing with her. Almost all cashiers will do that, instead of asking her to go the back of the line. That's why Vietnamese almost never queue.
If you're waiting for a red line at the intersection in Vietnam, you'll notice, people will start to move when the red light has about 5 seconds left, not when it turns green. They will clump up with the people moving in the perpendicular direction, and as the result, the traffic will stuck. They're so “smart”, so they thought they'll be home 5 seconds faster.
At the intersection also, you can see there is a lane for people who turn right. Vietnamese will fill in that lane, they don't give a fuck about the people who need to turn right, just to make them closer to the red light, thus they gonna be home 5 seconds earlier, 'cause they're so smart you know. 5 seconds earlier at the cost of 90 seconds later for a dozens of people have to wait behind them.
Whenever it rains, there will be a lot of people standing under the bridge that go over a road, despite the fact that they block the traffic of the entire road. They're smart right, that way they can stay dry. Fuck anyone who is travelling on the road.
The leaders are “smart” too. They always find a way to spend society tax money for themself, and when they step down from power, they have already got citizenship in another country and fled there with all the money they got".
