No, Cambodians are democracy.
There was a civil war between the Native Cambodians and the Khmer Rouge Regime. The Khmer Rouge Regime began in 1975 and ended in 1979. It has been said the Vietnamese army help chase the Khmer Rouge out of Cambodia, however, they wanted to take over Cambodia's land. Also, the U.N also came and help the Native Cambodians out. The Khmer Rouge murdered and killed at least 3 million Cambodians. So, basically, Cambodians came to America because of genocide and war. Many Cambodians that came to America were sponsored by Americans.
KR were Cambodians; communist ones.
Most countries, while expressing "regret and sadness" did not actually do anything about the Cambodian genocide. The only party that intervened was the Communist Vietnamese army, which after having a number of border skirmishes with the Khmer Rouge, took the opportunity to evict them from Phnom Penh and end the genocide, 4 years and 1.5 Million Cambodians later.
"As many as 750,000 Cambodians died over the years 1970-1974, from American B-52 bombers..." According to A World Without Genocide at William Mitchell College of Law.
