Why do you even let yourself contemplate that utterly foolish mass-media-fed false dichotomy of so-called "whites" vs. so-called "Hispanics"?

Are you that weak-minded?

What are you missing?

You are missing your own independent thinking.

Good Luck with that!


Personally I never heard of such a thing. Most Hispanics whom I know are whiter than alabaster, especially in Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, and the like.

Personally, I associate "white flight" (term that prompted my question) with Anglo/English speaking Caucasians moving from Miami Dade to Broward and Palm Beach counties...enlighten me--do "light" Cubans, Venezuelans, etc identify themselves as Latino or White/Caucasian???...waiting with baited breath for your answer before asking Cornell if they should invalidate or take back my degree. Enlighten me, I'm all ears. Does Mariano Rivera consider himself or identify as black, not Latino?

In Orange County (SoCal), "white flight" referred to English speaking Caucasians moving to the southern part of the County after more Latinos (light skinned, dark skinned, medium rare) started moving into the Northetn part of the County. Tell me what I'm missing--was the earlier "white flight" comment meant to somehow suggest "Cuban American" superiority v other Latino groups?...I am dying to know.

Coconut Grove: Artsy
Coral Gables: Posh

Caucasian Spanish speakers come from older societies, not tribals as Americans that divide people like 2000 years ago.
They are also Catholics.
So you have irreconciliable chusmones, finos, chusmeras, cagalitrosos, chompas, marabuntas and many other subdivisions.

Differently from California, Cubans and middle class latins don't pay much attention to American divisions.. as they are perceived as tourists.

There have been Spanish speakers -lots- in CG and CG since Christ lost his Havaianas.

Also in KB . was property of a Cuban woman.

Do either have live music, entertainment, cool bars, etc. just coming through for one night but want to show my guy a fun time. He has never been to Miami and I haven´t been since I moved in the 70´s. I used to ride my bike to Matheson Hammock and South Miami was still undeveloped. I lived near the parrot jungle but I have no idea what to expect now. Thank you in advance for any response!

Yes. It's obviously a mass-media-generated conspiracy, and not at all a legacy of racism that continues on to this day while "independent thinkers" like yourself who have never had an original thought in their lives deny that anything is a problem because they, personally, choose to ignore it.

Good job, buddy! Keep getting all of your opinions from InfoWars.
