In the essay, The Indebted, Hong discusses the difference between indebtedness and gratitude. In order to better understand her racial identity and history in America, Hong researches Asian American activism. She realizes how much she owes all those who struggled before her in order to give her the life she has now. However, learning even more about American racial atrocities, makes Hong resistant to thanking a nation that actively has sought to disappear her people for centuries.
