I’ve encountered this blindspot before too. In college in the late 80s, I was trying to back up my claim that it was right to oppose communist takeover in Vietnam. Asked to support my assertion that things weren’t all rosy happy national liberation, I said “well who do you think the boat people were?”
My very liberal classmate, who was extremely well-educated and informed, claimed they were Cambodians, and not Vietnamese!
