My blog makes no sense

Just looking at the title of this essay makes you think. "Home is where the "Han" is. If han is defined as "the sorrow and anger that grows from the accumulated experiences of oppression," then home is where you feel oppressed? Personally I wouldnt feel at home around people who oppresed me. However the examples given in the text make this reasonable. Koreans were oppressed in Korea, by their neighbors, due to wars, and occupations, and their government, by the murders of those demonstrating for constitutiobal reform. Upon immigration to the U.S. Koreans were oppressed by other cultural groups, who burned down Korean establishments, and the government. who failed to respond to 911 calls. The U.S. was supposed to be the "promised land" the "land of milk and honey." Immigrants do not come to the U.S. to be oppressed, but oppression seems to be here waiting for all immigrants.
A thought that struck me said that immigrants are not really Americans until they undergoe centuries of hardship and oppression. From what I know what American history this is true. All ethnic groups who come to American have been looked down upon by the people who were already here, forgetting that they themselves were once immigrants.
Then when the author pointed out the oppression, and criticizes the way the U.S. is she recieved even more racism, people from all over the U.S. sending her hate mail. It only proves her point that she cannot escape the oppression. The author ends with restating "we cannot become American without dying of han." Either people will die from the oppression they recieve, death becuase they cannot make a living, or dying in a riot, or the people will lose their cultural heritage in order to become American. A loss because America is supposed to be the "great melting pot" where all cultures blend and enrich enveryone's lives.
