They’ve been a solid republican voting block forever. I’ve known decent Cubans too but as a demographic they’re awful.

They hear the word "socialist" attached to the Dems and think that Biden, if elected, will innitiate a regime like Castro's
What kind of regime do you think that was?

Trump's going to win. Book it.

Well, I don't know for sure, but as you ask what I think, I'd say that it was a well-intentioned socialist/communist regime which ended up becoming unpopular, then repressive.

People who are not from south Florida have some misconceptions about Cubans. They're not all rich or middle class... There's a sizable portion that are poor. The richer ones are usually Republicans anyways. They're basically the White upper class of Miami since not that many actual white people live there.
Well, the Cubans are considered the whiter of the Spanish-speaking islands in the Caribbean. I think Aida Rodriguez has a joke that goes something like:

"The Dominicans think they're a little bit better because they speak better Spanish, and the Cubans think they're better because they're whiter, and the Puerto Ricans think they're a bit better because they're citizens."

yeah but i think that's a Miami thing cause they are a relatively successful group down there. Ethnically all Latin American countries are multiracial and Cuba is as well.

Umm no

I'm saying there's probably a reason those flotillas go in one direction only

You can wax poetic about Cuba all day but I don't see you trying to go so for you to criticize them for leaving is bull****

You don't have to love it to understand why people want to come here from the third world dummy

Don't have to leave it to reject their reasons either.
