The editor called it a "very sorry and dirty affair, a terrible thing. Nobody believed us." The Cuban-American community was talking about all of the things covered in this memo, he said.
Why do the people of Florida detest Cubans so?
Is it because of the boatloads of criminals Castro sent over? Are they the ones responsible for the hatred exibited by so many Floridians?
It makes no sense to me that the Americans born in Cuba and their descendants should be so looked down upon. I have never met more hard-working, charming, and loving people in my life than those who have fled Castro for freedom.
What is with so many people in Florida, and not just Florida but anywhere?
I think resentment of Cuban-Americans' strong identity is the basis of people's anger. Cuban-Americans fly the Cuban flag and are proud to show their heritage and traditions. That creates a sense of "us" and "them." Their unswerving loyalty to the Cuban flag is unnerving for most people. They are indeed very patriotic Americans and hard working people. They are in essence conservatives and God and family oriented, which is a prerequisite for an unbending dislike by the liberal media.
