Just an excuse to skip school. Losers. Thank God the Cubans in Miami aren’t like the Mexicans in the SW.
It is not an excuse to miss schoo, they have been raised with and surrounded by this false sense of self importance.
The Cubans in Miami hate communists, Castro supporters, and Che-Lovers, as well as the Mexican / "La Raza" types. Cuban Americans, while having strong sentiments to Cuba, are very PRO-AMERICAN PRO-USE type. You won't find a more PRO-USA ethnic group in this country. Cuban Americans don't like to be associated with the "Hispanic" label and lumped into the rest of the "Hispanic" ethnic label. They consider themselves "Americans" first before "Hispanic".
