        ELI5 How come it seems now the old [wives’] tale of Vietnamese eating pets and now its immigrants into the USA?

        That’s still a rather incomprehensible sentence.

          Rephrased to it’s intended meaning, that would be:

          ELI5 how come it seems now [that] the old [wives’] tale about Vietnamese people eating pets [is now being applied to] immigrants into the USA?

      This is funny as the Vietnamese joke about Chinese this way, they have a saying that translates as, ‘the only thing they don’t eat with 4 legs is a table’

      Maybe OP is from some place with a high Vietnamese population so there were rumors about this? TX, LA, or CA maybe.
