Amazing Race's visit to Vietnam causes uproar.
On this past week's episode of the hit reality series, the teams traveled to Hanoi, Vietnam.
Two tasks have sparked controversy. The first to memorize words to a Vietnamese Communist Party song.
And another, where the teams visit a B-52 Memorial site, where a B-52 plane crashed during the Vietnam War.
Many are calling this disrespectful to those who fought in the Vietnam War. Do you agree? Or are they over reacting?
Discuss.

That episode almost seemed like paid-for propaganda from Vietman
I wasn't offended, I thought it was weird, but I wasn't offended. I can see how it would offend others.

I know this is so wrong, but I couldn't stop giggling during the National Anthem part.

The overreaction
Although these two tasks are really awkward. Like, who even come up with them?

It's not the national anthem, though.

Maybe the producers were intentionally trying to stir the pot?
