Blacks look like West African types. Anglo whites look mostly Nordid and Anglo-Saxons. Most hispanics could pass as Spanish-Iberians with the exception of Joe Martinez who looks tri-racial.

Do they look representative for the Cubans you remember meeting in Miami?

Have any Cubans migrated to Argentina since the Revolution? I know Mexico and (pre-Chavez) Venezuela took in quite a few.

Yes, they did! I had some mates at the University who were sons of cubans and some others who were half cubans. Indeed cubans used to interact openly with local people (in that sense they were very similar to venezuelans immigrants actually) and a lot of them married with local people too.

My own feelings towards the Cuban Revolution are mixed. On the one hand, (a) its achievements in terms of health, education, sport and science have been very notable and (b) never in the wildest dreams of either its supporters or its detractors could it be accused of anything like the crimes of various right-wing authoritarian regimes in the continent (and I include Colombia in this - its democracy is a very crappy facade). On the other hand, it has led to many people being repressed and unhappy, encouraging many of its citizens to flee elsewhere.

In my opinion the big mistake of the castrism was not to turn to a Social-democracy after 10 or 15 years after the revolución.
If they would do that change, Cuba today would be probably a development country.
It's just only a thought....

Yes I agree. Even so, for all its failings and limitations, it has managed to outlive any of the European Communist regimes, and nor has it embraced the market to anything like the extent China and maybe Vietnam have. Therefore, despite all the exiles, there must be a popular basis for the regime still. (And before anyone mentions North Korea, that is in an exceptional league of its own, and not even the Cuban regime's biggest haters can accuse it of being even remotely that bad. In fact, one of the biggest hypocrisies and lunacies of Trump's foreign policy is how he calls the Cuban regime "evil" and wants to tighten sanctions against it, yet happily talks to Kim Jong-Un!)

With the possible exceptions of Figueres in Costa Rica and maybe Peron in Argentina (the latter's populist rhetoric notwithstanding), I honestly don't think there's been a truly social democratic leader anywhere in Latin America. Usually the Left is either crude and populist, or else Blairite soft neoliberal (e.g. Bachelet).

The last guy reminds me of an uncle of mine. Javier D. Souto too.

In this group the WASPs look NW European, Aframs look black (lol), and the Latinos look Iberians for the most part.
