'Mao!' more than ever

Not talking about the former revered leader of a quarter (or so) of the world’s population, but. . .

The scenes from “The Deer Hunter.”

"Mao!"
:Smack:
MAO!
:SMACK:

It’s pretty obvious what the captors want and what they mean, but how exactly does mao translate?

(I’ve never seen the word, so I’m guessing at the spelling.)

They want the grass cut?

It’s a pejorative word for Caucasian.

So all the times I’ve watched this scene he’s been shouting, ah, “Honky!”? Kinda ruins it for me…

Chairman Honky’s Little Red Book? Man, it’s no wonder relations between Red China and Communist Vietnam have been so rocky.
