Dear Dr. Lam,

I too, was at the Dallas debut of Ms. Tammy Nguyen Lee’s “Operation Babylift: The Lost Children of Vietnam” and was moved to my core.

I must agree with you completely when you write, “When we are tempted to resort to stereotypical thoughts and gender bias, we should retreat back to seeing the person in front of us simply as a member of our communal humanity. Free ourselves from prejudicial thoughts that may have originated from our childhood or even adulthood.”

I thank you for the words. Operation Babylift: The Lost Children of Vietnam is a film not to be missed.

Sincerely,

Dean A. Sorenson

Great, Dr. Lam!
Yeah, I’ve always viewed humanity as all one big happy family, but it is easy to stereotype people, and I mean stereotyping people on anything. Great message!!!
