Yes, I suppose there is a point where the hatred can become so toxic it interferes with one's life. And in such a case perhaps it's best to try to work through it, perhaps with the help of a mental health professional. But beyond that I would say how you feel about what was done to you, & the culture from which it arose, makes perfect sense to me.
