The only metro area I know of with a large "white hispanic" population is Miami.

Yes, most of those are Cuban Jews who arrived from Europe in the 20's and 30's, then onward to the US.

Here is an excerpt from the JewishCuban website.

Those who arrived in the 1920s and early 1930s included a good number of Marxists, who played a key role in the founding of Cuba's Communist party. In the 1930s, especially around the years of the Spanish Civil War, these Jews became targets of a small but influential sector of the elite that had Falangist leanings. These elites also opposed the entry of the next wave of Jews, the refugees from Nazism. Desperate to enter the United States they settled for Cuba as a safehaven but tended to see the islands as an "immigration hotel"

Huh? Most Cuban CHRISTIANS in Miami are white. The mulattos tended to stay down in Cuba. I'm willing to bet that the Cuban Christian population is 80% white.

There is a large Cuban Jewish population, but most of them are Sephardim who came after 1959.

The percentage of Cuban Jews in the Miami Cuban population is quite small. Cuba has always had a large immigration influx straight from Spain, especially from the northern Spanish regions of Asturias and Galicia.

Castro, in fact, is only a first generation Cuban. His father was born in Galicia.
