    Liberal Democrat for the record:thumbsup
    For anybody interested in Cuba's ethnic makeup here you go.
    From Wikipedia based on Ancestral, Genetic and Census Info
    The majority of the ancestry of White Cubans comes from Spain. During the 18th, 19th and early part of the 20th century especially, large waves of Canary Islanders, Galicians, and Catalans emigrated from Spain to Cuba. Other European nationalities which immigrated include: English, Scots, Russians, Poles, Portuguese, Romanians, Italians, Greeks, French, Germans and Irish. Eastern European Influence was mostly during the Cold War years and immigration from the British Isles was mostly in Pinar del Rio Province and Havana. There is a small remnant of a Jewish community. There is also significant ethnic influx from diverse Levantine peoples, especially Lebanese, Palestinians, Turks, and Syrians.
    Afro-Cubans composed 9.3% of the population in 2012. Their origins are mainly Yoruba, dating back to the Atlantic slave trade, and more recently, Haitian.
    Cubans of East Asian/Oriental origins make up 1.02% of the population. They are mostly of Chinese (especially Cantonese), Japanese or Korean origins.
    Of the TaĆ­nos the number of those that claim decent have not been formally recorded. Most, however, live on the eastern part of the island. Some American Indians from the United States settled in Cuba in the 19th century (notably Cherokee, Choctaw and Seminole). There are no exact figures on their current descendants.

    2002 Census Race Total Men Women % of total White 7,271,926 65.05% Mixed 2,658,675 23.84% Black 1,126,894 10.08% Asian 112,268

    I think you got me confused for somebody else, I'm almost none of that. I'm a WOP born in NY raised in south florida not some redneck, we don't even have rednecks down here. My father is dark enough to be confused as a mestizo.

    I was going to defend you on that, but I wasn't entirely sure but I assumed you were Italian, Forza is obviously Italian to anyone who knows anything.

    I used to spend a lot of time in Miramar when I was a kid, we had family friends that used to live there, but they moved up to Melbourne. I was born and raised in Miami until I was in my mid 20's then I moved just north of Orlando to be closer to family, but I still spend a lot of time living with family and friends in Miami. Back and forth its only a 4 hour drive..

    Good for concerts and HHN like you pointed out, but it gets boring really fast, Miami is way better, I'm probably going to move back down there in a few years full time.

    The only state in the country where the further north you go, the further south you get.
