For many Cuban Americans, the change in U.S./Cuban immigration policy is “a real surprise,” says Ana Sofía Peláez, executive director of the Miami Freedom Project, a Latino civic and education organization that deals with immigration, among other issues. “There’s real disbelief that Cubans can be targeted.”
Sorry what? Who do you think these racists target?!
Cuban Americans are fucking weird man. I've never met people so against immigration as my father's side of the family, who are all here because they immigrated from Cuba in the 60s.
I've heard a theory of (grand)children of migrants paroting the people that were already there when their (grand)parents moving there, unaware of it because they don't realise they aren't seen as similar as people who were born there but have 'local' (grand)parents. Something like they try to belong but simultaneously believe they don't do that since they were born belonging there. But I don't know exactly and also might not even apply to Cuban Americans specifically.
Honestly I always felt it came from having to flee a communist dictatorship and developing a fear of anything that even remotely resembled socialist ideals for fear that it'd happen again.
Oops.
