Cuba doesn’t work like other Latin countries.. we know whose white and whose passing....dont be fukking obtuse. you know damn well that whiteness in america has a different meaning then in latin america. in latin america you just have to be light skinned. In america you have to be anglo saxon and/or northern european descent. thats why when an italian family with money moved to a white neighborhood people used to get upset that their property value would go down
edit: also, even when you check off the racial category box in a census or applying for a job, "white" is clearly defined as NON-HISPANIC

Also it’s not the 1920s anymore. I do oddly recall Ricky Ricardo on TV In the 50s having zero issues with his “Anglo” wife.

Its still not clear to me why you want to pretend white people arent white cause of a language or country they were born in. They are saying they are Spanish for the exact reason that they are Spanish. And most Cubans white black or otherwise don’t have low self esteem and love being Cuban. I’m Cuban but not claiming I’m white cause I’m not. The people you are referring to are directly descended from Spaniards on both sides. That would be like you saying a person with English parents isn’t white because they were born in the US. You think something is magical about the island of Cuba?
Uh no Hispanic is an ethnicity in the US tha should be common knowledge.I Love Lucy is a fictional tv show and at the time it was considered unique because they were an interracial couple. Also, it doesnt matter what cubans think being white means in america. In America, white is clearly defined as non hispanic which means they purposefully exclude latinos from "whiteness" as a matter of government policy.
He’s a bitter old man, so expect some bias.Care to elaborate? In my experiences of living there, I haven't seen or heard any bullshyt. Maybe they're different in other places but in Tampa they were cool with me.

Not saying they arent anti black, but in general Fla latinos arent bothering black people on a physical level. They (esp cubans) and other white latinos harm black people moreso on a political level with policies, & economically (locking out of jobs). They also use classism, so ur experience will differ if ur a black proffessional versus a working class black man. But they won’t dare attack black people down here like they do in California or how the Latin Kings did in Chicago bc brehs in Fla hold their own.... so u probably had no issues hanging out and partying with them but it might be an issue if u want a job from them or want to live in their neighborhood.
Versus California where those Mexicans will actually cause physical harm to you & do the prison time for it.
Thank you for explaining. The way I am I fukk with you until you give me reason not to and they never gave me that reason yet.He’s a bitter old man, so expect some bias.

I knew they were different than other Hispanic groups but I didn't know they were repping trump-set so heavy

Just like whites in Cuba see them as Americans first.....im not saying they arent white , what i am saying is that the whites in the US see them as cubans first , Rightly or wrongly , just like how they used to view the irish ,
you know what it is , a lot of black immigrants have come from africa carribean that were middle class at home , generally you get here and it takes a backseat to race
We still identify
and it seems to me that white cubans dont wamt to identify with black cubans , i could be 100 % wrong , its just impressions
im middle class , but its not something i need to cling on to
