I'm not of Cuban heritage so I could be wrong on this but I think it's telling that all those pictured appear to be young enough to be the next generation of the exiles. I say this because my Grandparents weren't interested in talking about ‘the old Country’ once they came here and settled. They chose to focus on America and all of its opportunities. Everything I know about what was going on there I learned from books and out of my own curiosity. Perhaps they're victims of American public schools.

Cubans are a curious lot. They love their country. You’ll be hard pressed to find a 4th generation Cuban or higher. The old timers remember the old country and long for the days when they could live there again in peace.

The younger ones who haven’t set foot on their country, need a sense of belonging. Those who adapt & blend to American culture (there’s a few) couldn’t give a rip about Cuba for the most part (and they are conservative), they love America. The rest, are like pseudo-Puerto Ricans, and just have to stick out from the crowd & proclaim who they are. They have a weird cultural identity issue.
