Just to clarify, you are upholding your father's political retribution despite being born elsewhere and (presumably) never visiting? I'm genuinely curious.

What a strange question.
It was a traumatic event in his father’s life. There is no illogic in despising the people and organizations that brought about that misery on his father.
The answer to this question is so obvious I have trouble believing you are asking in good faith.

The handful of Cubans I've known over the years expressed the same sentiment: Intense hatred for Castro and the Cuban government.
"No, absolutely not. Don't even waste your time considering it. Castro ruined it and it will never be the same".
I think the moral is that for many Cubans the embargo isn't against the people, it's against the Cuban government, and they genuinely hate the government with every fiber of their existence. They hate what Castro took from them and have no dissolutions that letting up the embargo would strengthen that governments rule while only providing minuscule benefits to the people. Until the government regime changes in Cuba, any pressure we can apply is worth it.
