Cuban Americans In South Florida

US Census Bureau. Facts about Cuban American:
Cuban Americans have acquired an enormous amount of wealth and prosperity in an extremely short period of time; no other immigrant group has achieved this as quickly as the Cubans. Many immigrants have never achieved it at all, despite being in this country far longer than Cubans. Second-generation Cuban-Americans were more educated than even Anglo-Americans. More than 26.1% of second-generation Cuban-Americans had a bachelor's degree or better versus 20.6% of Anglos. Thus Cuban-Americans in 1997 were approximately 25% more likely to have a college degree than Anglos.
Other Hispanic groups lag far behind. Only 18.1% of South Americans had a bachelor's or better. Puerto Ricans, despite being U.S. citizens by birth, recorded a disappointing 11%; Mexicans only 7%.
In 1997, 55.1% of second-generation Cuban-Americans had an income greater than $30,000 versus 44.1% of Anglo- Americans. Thus Cuban-Americans are approximately 20% more likely to earn more than $30,000 than their Anglo-American counterparts. All other Hispanic groups lag far behind in average income.
In 1997, 36.9% of second-generation Cuban-Americans had an income greater than $50,000 versus 18.1% of Anglo- Americans. Cuban-Americans were twice as likely to earn more than $50,000. Also, approximately 11% of Cuban-Americans had incomes greater than $100,000 versus 9% of Anglo-Americans, and less than 2% of other Hispanics.
Cubans comprise less than 4% of the U.S. Hispanic population, Mexicans 65%, Puerto Ricans 10%, Central and South Americans 11%, and "others" 10%. Yet of the top 100 richest Hispanics in the U.S., more than 50% are of Cuban descent (ten times what it should be on a population basis), and 38% of Mexican descent. The rest is scattered among all other Hispanic groups.

Who cares.. cubans are the reason why South Florida is a tragedy. Screw you

For one Im surprised you explained that in English dip sh!t.

Funny thing is cubans always think they are more superior or better than someone else its truely amazing to see. You beach monkeys cant even get your kids to pass the FCAT what makes you so superior to everyone else? What you dont even teach your kids the official language of the US and expect everyone to speak your language when you wash up shore somewhere in Biscayne Bay. Not to mention the reason why Miami is the shit hole it is because of the cuban invasion. There used to be so much more in South FL but now its some third world bannana republic.

Oh here we go again.. once again you island shit monkeys think you are far more superior than your peers. What a waste of time you are along with the cubans. If you want to prove yourself so superior than everyone else do us a favor and get a green card or at least learn the english language because as of now you buddy are on America's shit list.

Why is this on a medical/Diverticulitis thread?

Is there no moderator here?

There people who use this post/forum for legit posting of info that pertains to the subject.

It's so sad to see that the United States has hardly progressed since the Civil Rights movement.

I am an American of Cuban descent. Like every Cuban American I know, I speak English and Spanish fluently. In fact, many of us speak a third or fourth language.

Almost every Cuban American I know has some form of college education, my family being the prime example.

I live in Miami. It happens to be a wonderful place to live. The education I'm getting is one of the best world wide.(Look up the IB curriculum.) It seems as though the schools that fail to teach their children to read are in the ghetto, all filled with different races, not just Hispanics. I'd like to add that this problem is one of funding and curriculum, not of race, gender, or ethnicity. One of the valedictorians at a local high school came from Cuba only a few years before.

So honestly, I'd say that joker is just trolling.

We don't decided it George.It is the U.S Census facts..what can we do about it?It is not our fault,don't you believe George?

i came to this country when i was 1yr old.
i grew up in atlanta ga primarily with americans.
not in miami.
but as soon as i entered my home, i was in CUBA.
that is why i grew up to be pretty succssful. i am also a retired veteran (20 years).
i currently live in south tx.rampant poverty with 10th generation immigrants.i'm not gloating ,this is what i see.
the culture in cubans is special (to me anyway)
it explains our success.
as we all know...there was an hundred year old church in havana when the pilgrems landed on plymouth rock
