Well not so fast, ponmeloahi, Miami attracts a lot of wealthy Hispanics from all over Latin America and the only ones that regardless of financial and social status tend to be down to earth all the time anywhere and everywhere, with a few rare exceptions are the Dominicans. Most other Hispanics just lack that je ne sais quoi. Colombians though very polite and courteous are very class conscious, though not arrogant, they can be very condescending. Venezuelans with money can be rude, nasty, looks down at others and pompous at times. But of course we all know the folks from Argentina are known to have over an exaggerated ego. The Costa Ricans think of themselves as the Hot Shit of Central America and look down at their other neighbors. The upper crust Mexicans that I have met I found to be pedante y repugnante, some thing sort of like a Luis Miguel. ( sorry but I know the ladies are going to kill me). Now not all Cubans in Miami are come mieldas. The recent Cuban arrivals, the ones that grew up during the Cuban Revolution I find to be very nice and not yet spoiled with US consumerism, materialism or have yet to adopt the Miami shallow mentality and empty way of life. Also many of the Cuban residents from Hialeah, a blue collar, working class enclave here, tend to be none assuming and unpretentious.


These are the exception. and would you know that most cubans from south miami Cor Gables Kendal etc consider the cubans from Hialeah chusma.

You are right, that is the unjust perception of many non-residents of Hialeah-probably most were former residents of La ciudad que progresa, agua, fango y factoria. However, these Hialeah Cubans are not anymore chusmas then your average working class Dominican, Puerto Rican, Mexican or any other Hispanic/Latino coming from the low stratum of society. They are most likely higher then your mountain dew drinking, trailer park white trash, or your fun loving ghetto negro.

Good points in regards to the differences between all our groups, and the absence of focus on indigenous, African and other elements of the widely varied cultures. Still since he has particular political goals in mind he needs to rethink a wholesale rejection of these labels. Except for Mexicans no single one of the groups under the umbrella will have the numbers anytime soon to be effective political forces. By spreading some sense of Latino belonging, even a muted sense tertiary to their identity of origin and race, you encourage growth of a loose voting bloc at least for those particular issues he would like to see addressed. If Latins were southern Europeans what is the issue in appropriating LatinOs to mean southern Americans?
I refuse to be labeled Hispanic. That term was used by Mexicans in the US to try to suck some of the political clout of Cuban Americans. I do not fit any of their demographic. La Raza can kiss my Cuban/Spanish/Italian ass.
They an kiss my Dominican/Native Dominican/Spaniard/Isla Canaria/African/Arab/Asian/Castilian/Catalan/Basque/Galicia A$$
I'll pass.
I rather be called Latino or Hispanic than "BROWN" Hate that fucking term, its widely use in politics and soon in hollywood, which means it will be used by everyone within a couple of years... Let's not let America's "Black N White" issue force itself on us immigrants from the western hemisphere. Kiss my Brown ass.... LOL
I second that, I am not brown. I am an ethnicity. I have a culture, I have a language and heritage. I am not BROWN. I hate when people say I am to light to be Dominican. Even thou I am no where near a white Dominican.
I too hate that "brown" label. I've also been told I can't be dominican because I'm white (a haitian told me that btw). WTF, I have cousins with blonde hair and blue eyes and they are even more dominican than I am lol.

I see. pincrest has many anglos and jews and foreigners. maybe he doesnt know anglos despise the Cubans in pincrest. but they tolerate them. The anglos in pinecrest consider the cubans in living in pinecrest as chusma since kendal is right nest door.
