Let's get real here..."Latino" or "Hispanic" is not an appropriate
term to utilize when discussing Cockburn's piece, nor in discussing the
disgust the rest of the population feels for what is happening in Miami.
Cuban-Americans are a singularly unique subsegment of the American
Hispanic/Latino community, and have little in common with the Puerto
Rican community, the Mexican-American community, the Columbian-American
community, etc.

And the Cuban-Americans found it convenient to be so used, and willingly
complied...

And about time, too. Cuban-Americans have wielded way too much power
in relation to their size, and it's about time they were collectively
slapped down and shown that they are not the center of the univers that
they'd like to think they are...

Bull. They are more arrogant than ever.

Not that I've personally witnessed. The Puerto Ricans I work with
believe Elian should be with his father, and intensely dislike the
Cuban-Americans in Miami...
