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.
