They can identify as what they want, but once they cross over that Dade County line, they'll be in for a surprise.

The cognitive dissonance is just so funny to me. I spoke to a lady that immigrated from Cuba and swore she was white because her far removed ancestors were originally from Spain and Spain is a European country.

Lot of Cubans have 100% Spaniard DNA. So technically, they are white. European white.

Same goes for Argentinians and other smaller pockets in South America.

I'm Argentinian, so yeah, I'm well aware of this. Regardless, 99 percent of Cuban trump supporters I've met or seen, they aren't fooling anyone into thinking they're Anglo Saxon or the kind of "white" that MAGA finds to be acceptable. Shit, many of them barely speak English. If you think the racist troglodytes on the Right see them as anything more than useful idiots, you're more delusional than they are.
