From what I've heard, Cubans and Puerto Ricans don't generally like each other, so let's try to keep it nice.

Oops, too late;))

That's not necessarily true. We have a large and prosperous Cuban community in Puerto Rico. Heck, half my high school class were pre-Mariel Cubans.

It's just that some mainland Cubans adopt that "us vs. them" culture of the lower 48.

LOL

We don't. Actually no one likes Cubans; Mexicans and South/Central Americans despise us too. Many Cubans have achieved a significant level of economic success here in the U.S. and this has generated envy and contempt from our more downtrodden "Latino Brothers"; even more so now that the vast majority of Cubans did not support the recent illegal immigration marches.

We have a Cuban U.S. Secretary of Commerce, 2 U.S. senators, 4 U.S. Congressmen.

Puertoricans have: J-LO
