Many people here tend to say that cuban americans are basically recent spanish imigrants who re emigrated to miami. I dont agree, i think many if not the majority of cuban americans are typical white cubans with a lot of colonial blood.
To support this claim i compared our 475 Cuban samples from gedmatch(probably mostly cuban americans) with a new sample including only 52 close cousins of 3 very mixed Cubans (unknown origin but most likely also cuban americans) and our 242 iberian samples.
The comparison shows
1- Even though The cuban sample and Cuban cousins sample are extremely euro by latin american standards, the majority of them cant pass as full iberian. 75% or more cant pass as fully iberian.
2- Both the cuban and cuban cousins samples are extremely similar even tough Cuban cousins are close contacts of very mixed colonial cubans. So the known cuban sample probably also has a lot of colonial blood even tough its very euro.
3- Both cuban samples show significantly more amerindian than SSA. Thats a latin american trait, and impossible in iberia.
4- If this cubans with significant colonial blood are around 85% euro on average, and this close cousins of mixed cubans are also around 85% euro, and cuba is like 55% white, its pretty reasonable to think Cuba is still very euro today.
