Western Man food stand on 7-8-22--Vung Tau copy






"Ông Tây" is literally Mr. Western, or Western Man. I wouldn't trust the cheeseburgers, hot dogs or spaghetti from this stand, though.

How about "thằng tây"? for an adjustment of attitude toward white people? Also, "Tây" sounds so passe, a relic from the colonial past.

Sometimes Tây is even used to indicate any foreigner, including a Viet Kieu who may not look sufficiently Vietnamese.
