Different Hispanics, Different Heritage – Part One
I have purposely waited until the end of Hispanic Heritage Month, 2011, to get down to writing this piece. Since I’m Cuban by birth, I have some observations about Hispanics in general and about Cuban exiles in particular.
Many natural-born Americans think of “Hispanics” as one group, one minority group, one disadvantaged minority group, one left-leaning group. In other words, we’re all alike. Not so.
I’m Cuban by birth and American by adopted citizenship. I’m an American who was born and raised in Cuba, of Cuban parents. I’m here because my parents and I migrated here in the early 1960s – seeking freedom.
Miami, Florida, is where my family and I first ended up; many of us “learned to die in Miami”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmplymVatPs&feature=related
