Let's be honest...

Actually, Dee, let's be honest about why Hispanics (particularly Cubans) are running Miami. The U.S. government has historically given Cuban immigrants and refugees some pretty sweet deals- low interest business loans, guaranteed free college scholarships, and various other types of "welfare" help that other groups have never been offered. Cuban immigrants received preferential treatment as long as they were the white-looking, Castro-hating Cubans that would support the U.S. government's anti-Communist agenda. The fact that you received this enormous, unmerited head start over other ethnic groups that have lived and toiled in this country and in this southern Florida area for centuries is the real reason why you now have so much power in Miami. And the fact that you claim you "worked hard" for it is hilarious. How exactly does one work hard for a handout?
