| > Most Americans don’t even realize that there are millions of folks in Miami whose parents fled Cuba when the communists took over. No, we know, we just don't think it should affect our foreign policy. My own family also fled a similar situation btw, communists ousting them and taking their business, ultimately leading them to emigrate here. But you have no idea how unsympathetic "pre-revolution Cuban factory owner" sounds lol, IDK how naive you think the rest of us are. My grandfather's family, which owned the aforementioned business that got taken by communists, didn't do anything of use for other people or even for themselves really (e.g. didn't send kids abroad to get educated, as they should have). So karma got 'em (though ultimately the reason for the revolution could be ascribed more to the moral failings of colonial government than people like them). Now, here, we see how the rich Cubans here are. How they vote. How they think they are better than other Hispanics, etc. Not interested in doing anything those people want. |
