Yes, every individual person's experience is unique. However, that was not my point. My point was that the typical Korean immigrant's experience is a different situation than the typical experience of an ancestor of an African-American today. (Call it two brands: the general "Korean-American" paperclip, and a general "African-American" paperclip.)
Korean immigrants and their descendents, simply put, were and are in a different situation than African-Americans or their ancestors. Some parts of either of their situations are outside the control of individuals.
Can you say with a straight face that 200 years of legalized segregation, and concomitant economic starvation, should disappear ("unbend") within 60 years of it being de facto uplifted?
