Warm hi from Florida!

Hi there to all the pretty people of this forum.

I was just looking stuff at races of the US cuz my girlfriend is black, and we keep arguing all the time if a Cuban American like me (medium brown hair, brown eyes), is actually white in this country or also part of the minorities.
Stuff around looks interesting, so I wanna pass some time around see what's up and fun.

Catch you around.

welcome.

I'm going to assume your girlfriend considers you white, but you question it?

Welcome. :)

Welcome, chances are you are white. Being Cuban, or from Latin America does not automatically mean you are not white. Lots of Cubans and Latin Americans are white, while many are not. Hispanic is a culture, and not a race.

Hello! Welcome :).

Yeah. I mean, I don't get it. Cuba is a mixed places. Even those "white" folk, usually have some black thing going back a few generations, maybe Indian too.
I'm personally not what you imagine as "white" when you think of it.

My grandpa and grandma spoke Spanish and struggled with English. I know I'm not the poster kid of White America. Yet, since I'm a bit light skinned, she likes to tease me and call me "white boy" and stuff.

If you can't prove African or Native ancestry and all your relatives look white, then you're white. No different than an Italian or Greek American, or a Portuguese American.

[Cubarlos]

Cuba isn't Europe. And I don't feel anyhow close to Greeks, Portuguese or whatev people from there. I actually live in a community with Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, and all sorts of happy warm people.

That's what I feel like it. Cuban in the US, as part of the latinos.

As a matter of fact I have confused a couple of cubans for WASPs in Miami.

Welcome, have fun and enjoy your stay.

[Mars06]

From Cuba, or just born to Cuban parents?

[Cubarlos]

Cuban American, born and bred in the US of A. Third generation immigrant. I have 1 white grandmother. Other 3 are Cuban.

[Prince Of Macrobia]

If you are Cuban origin, then you related with Zulus and Xhosa people. Forget about one Granny was white. :thumb001:

[Cubarlos]

Haha, maybe. I told the other guy before that Cubans have often some black ancestor back in the line.
It's cool. Black people are nice. I'm dating one hot black girl right now.

^^Just kidding, you can be white Cuban. :cool:

[Cubarlos]

Neh, I just identify as Hispanic. Probably of mixed origin.
I'm latino, and that's it.

Welcome. You sound cool. I've been to Miami, highest concentration of gorgeous women anywhere within the USA. I bet your gf's gorgeous.

[Cubarlos]

Exactly. Miami is an awesome city, the only big one where you can get by both with English and with Spanish, and there ain't no shortage of beautiful women from any imaginable origin.

Well, it's definitely heavy in gorgeous Latina women, which I definitely like. But I see a smaller portion of women from other ethnicities (Asian, Northern Euro, etc). But it's all good. I love the Latin flavor there.

Welcome!

[Porpolita]

Hello welcome to TA!

[Mortimer]

So you are from Miami? Sounds awesome.

[Cubarlos]

Nice welcoming, thank you all.
Seems like the kind of laidback chill community that makes it decent to just kickback after a day, and write random jokes and like fun stories.
