Cuba is a majority white country and Cubans in the US include people of all racial backgrounds.

Racist lefties think like this:

Cuba is a non-white country which once had an evil rich white elite who all came to the US to keep their riches. US Cubans = white = bad. Cubans in Cuba = non-white = good.

Castro and his revolutionary fellows were as puro Euro as can be. They overthrew a government led by Batista ("Of mixed European, African, Chinese and Amerindian descent, Batista was considered a mulatto socially - wikipedia).

From wikipedia:

Castro:
He was the third child born to Ángel Castro y Argiz, a Galician immigrant from the impoverished northwest of Spain who became relatively prosperous through work in the sugar industry and successful investing.[14]
....
Although accounts of his education differ, most sources agree that he was an intellectually gifted student, more interested in sports than in academics, and spent many years in private Catholic boarding schools, finishing high school at El Colegio de Belén, a Jesuit school in Havana in 1945.[18] ....
In late 1945, Castro entered law school at the University of Havana.

Ernesto Guevara was born to Celia de la Serna y Llosa and Ernesto Guevara Lynch on June 14, 1928[1] in Rosario, Argentina, the eldest of five children in a white Argentine family of Spanish, Basque and Irish descent.[15] In lieu of his parents' surnames, his legal name (Ernesto Guevara) will sometimes appear with de la Serna, or Lynch accompanying it. In reference to Che's "restless" nature, his father declared "the first thing to note is that in my son's veins flowed the blood of the Irish rebels."[16] Very early on in life Ernestito (as he was then called) developed an "affinity for the poor."[17] Growing up in a family with leftist leanings, Guevara was introduced to a wide spectrum of political perspectives even as a boy.[18] His father, a staunch supporter of Republicans from the Spanish Civil War, often hosted many veterans from the conflict in the Guevara home.[19]

Camilo Cienfuegos Gorriarán (February 6, 1932 – October 28, 1959) was a Cuban revolutionary born in Lawton, Havana City. Raised in a socialist family that had fled Spain during the Spanish Civil War, he became a key figure of the Cuban Revolution, along with Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, and Raúl Castro.

Having lived in Miami, I can say that about the same number of Cubans are white, or mostly white, and mixed white and black. A very few are black. The mixed race Cubans often have gold colored eyes. Though there may be some Native American blood, it is not noticable. They are generally taller than a Mexican with no red tone, either white or a deep tan color.

That was about the balance I worked with and lived near. So of course their may be a different proportion of the total population.
