People who are not from south Florida have some misconceptions about Cubans. They're not all rich or middle class... There's a sizable portion that are poor. The richer ones are usually Republicans anyways. They're basically the White upper class of Miami since not that many actual white people live there.

Well,
the Cubans are considered the whiter of the Spanish-speaking islands in the Caribbean. I think Aida Rodriguez has a joke that goes something like:
"The Dominicans think they're a little bit better because they speak better Spanish, and the Cubans think they're better because they're whiter, and the Puerto Ricans think they're a bit better because they're citizens."
