I always understood that the rest of Latin Americans do not like Cubans that well. Even their Spanish is quite different than other Spanish speaking peoples.

There are two distinct classes of Cubans in America.

Around 1960, almost the entire Cuban professional class fled the island and came to south Florida.

Most of them were direct ancestors of Spaniards, all of them were penniless, they integrated instantly into the American culture, they had an astounding work ethic, they voted Republican, and they completely transformed the economy of Dade County in 15 years.

Around 1979, the Mariel refugees arrived.

Many were Black, many were ex-cons, and most of them had limited education and limited skills.

A regular tower of Babel we've become. Apparently something that can only be overcome by a black looking but mostly Arab/white whose mother was a US citizen and whose supposed father was from Kenya even though he grew up in Indonesia and was raised by a transvestite nanny and an anti-American mother before he went to Hawaii where he was a lazy druggie.

Maybe we should focus on the person's ideas - once they've cleared the eligibility hurdles that is.
