Gusanos, specially Cuban and South Vietnamese, are one of the most entitled people ever. Theres a book written by a lib, called "Cuban Privilege", that talks about how Cubans aren't considered immigrants but rather political refugees, as such they receive a bunch of free stuff from the Federal and State goverments. The author argues that the Cubans don't actually classify as political refugees per UN rules, and that meanwhile actual political refugees from Haiti, El Salvador and Guatemala, get treated like shit. And that this Privilege the Cubans have, could be used on actual refugees and Americans who need welfare. Guasanos got really mad about this, there used to be a blog with a really funny delusional review of this book.

The Castro regime claims that the source of all its failures are U.S. sanctions, but the failures are due to communist central planning that the Castro regime imposed on Cuba in 1959.

Tens of thousands of Cubans have drowned or disappeared in the Florida Straits, trying to reach the freedom of the US. Fidel Castro did not begin blaming Washington for the problems he had created until 1991 when the Soviet Union imploded. This was the year that Havana began campaigning to condemn the U.S. embargo at the United Nations General Assembly.

Earlier this year, Boston University professor Susan Eva Eckstein published “Cuban Privilege: The Making of Immigrant Inequality in America,” a 300-page book that perpetuates the myth that Cubans are a privileged immigrant class. To argue her point, the author implies that the Cuban identity as “refugees” seeking asylum was a mere construct, not a reality. This is an inaccurate assertion that denies the facts of the Cuban experience and callously disregards the historical tragedies caused by Fidel Castro‘s brutal regime.
