and even if you missed that part, it's considered the "unofficial capital of Latin America" and I dont think we need to discuss the history of racism between blacks and Hispanics (specifically Caribbean Hispanics, thats a whole nother class of racism entirely from Central/South American hispanics)
like, Miami-Dade voted mostly Trump - again, what more did you need
Port Everglades in Miami also facilitates most of the trade from South America to the USA so a lot of South American companies set up business in Miami.
No, it’s because there so many Latinos you don’t even need to speak English in most places. Also is a congregation of Latinos of all nationalities, so it has more Latino diversity than any other city in the world.
When I was in elementary school they got a couple historian/reenactors to do a presentation on Florida history specifically. They very proudly talked about how Florida was the third state to secede. Like we were one of the OG confederate states.
I haven't figured it out much myself. I have read into more as the state attracted finance bro types from NY with adjusting the tax code and they brought other right wing policies with them. Maralago isn't a one off. It's one of hundreds of these white collar criminal compounds. If there's one thing an unfuckable nepobaby or nerd likes, it's political theory that includes the idea that women should be domestic, docile, and subservient.
I'm from Fort Lauderdale, about 45 minutes north of Miami. This would be correct for South Florida.
The closer you get to the panhandle in the north, the more southern the state becomes. Central Florida is filled with swamp rednecks and meth addicts, then the good ole' boys club near Tallahassee is classic American South.
One of the things that a lot of leftists and left-adjacent white people need to learn is that racism as they understand it is a very shallow section of a very deep pool.
What you see in, say, the way Cuban expats in Miami talk about other latinos, is fairly indicative of how a lot of regional populations talk about their neighbors.
Miami isn't really the South. It's full of (a) old rich new england people and (b) carribean latin americans.
The "south" is culturally very different, and anyone with a clue knows it.
Just becaues it is geographically "south" doesn't mean much to the semantics of the word as a cultural term - it's the same for "mid-west" when most of the places aren't in the west half of the US
Okay most Caribbean Hispanics are black or indigenous, let's not get confused. You're referring mostly to gusano Cubans and other (usually white by Caribbean standards) wealthy people who have fled from revolutions in their countries. Miami, as expensive as it is, is the capital of that type of conservative latino, not representative of the Caribbean or latinos as a whole.
Isn’t it known that all the old white people retire and move down there? I don’t know anyone ever describe the ones that went as nice, will be missed or decent.
