Having spent his university years in the Unites States, he is able to more easily navigate the cultural differences than his fellow refugees, though racism is pervasive throughout - from his own countrymen as he, himself is mixed race, and from Americans’ distrust of the ‘yellow’ infiltration of the “Boat People”. As an attache to a high ranking Vietnamese General, he has access to top secret information, American intelligence, and a ticket to the United States after the fall of Saigon. He’s half-French, half-Vietnamese, an Army Captain in the Vietnamese Army, while spying for the Communists. The Sympathizer’s narrator is a double agent - a man of “two minds”.
