something tells me them Miami Cubans got no problem with this

anyway, movie will be full with propaganda...No, Castro wasn't the greatest leader ever but he wasn't the monster the US makes h to be consider who he supported and fought with to help them secure their rights.

How America was laughing it up at Mandela's funeral/memorial when they were calling the man a terrorist and helping lock him up for almost 30 years never sat right with me.

Yea. I and everyone knows. But not all Latinos are purely white. Most aren't. Fidel is a white guy whose family was directly from Spain with no admixture like most Latinos. They could've/should've gotten a Latino to play the role, someone who actually speaks Spanish. That's a fair criticism. But taking issue with a white guy with a half Portuguese father playing a white guy from Spain is odd.
