I think the (political) situation in Miami, although I'm not there right now 
to evaluate all the issues surrounding this boy, is definitely run by 
Cubans. They are indisputably a powerful voting black in South Fl. But I 
don't think they're redefining themselves as extremely as the Dominican 
style. I think it's more a matter of strategy by playing on existing, albeit 
racist, sympathies of the American public. But don't be mislead, there's an 
unmistakable anti-immigrant sentiment against most non-white European 
immigrants--which affects blond haired, blue-eyed Cubans as well.
