<< Oh, by the way, Cuban is not a race. Cubans are of all races. >>

I call the dislike that people have for the Miami Cuban exiles, racism. Call it whatever you please, but it still boils down to the same thing.

There are two demonstrations going on down here today. One is by the exiles in support of keeping Elian in the U.S.

The other one is by patriotic Americans who are flying the U.S. flag, and are condemning the Miami Cubans for not flying the U.S. flag.

In this case, I support both sides.

As I have mentioned before, there is a great dislike, in this country, for the fact that hispanics will be in the majority within about 50 years. I, personally, would rather see the U.S. continue as a melting pot of all races and cultures, and not just hispanic. Unfortunately, that will not be the case.
