This behavior is inconsistent with both Firefox Suggest's own patterns as well as Mozilla's values.
Inconsistency with Firefox Suggest's own pattern:
When searching for "Australia", Firefox Suggests the Wikipedia page for the country Australia. When searching for "Canada", Firefox Suggests the Wikipedia page for the country Canada. The same holds for: China, France, Germany, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Russia, South Africa, Soviet Union.
Inconsistency with Mozilla's values:

When Firefox promotes the association of Vietnam with war, Mozilla is in a small way perpetuating this legacy of anti-Asian war messaging.
