Cubans Spankin dat ass

Subject: US Census Bureau Facts for Cuban/Americans


Here are some interesting facts about Cuban-Americans. This

information was obtained from the US Census Bureau:



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.



Great economic envy, felt by other Hispanic and minority groups

towards Cubans, exists. Also, Anglo Americans see Cubans as a group that "is

unwilling to assimilate".



How about that!

 

Cubans kick ass...we all know that

havana (back in the day) was THE place to party down...

 

Cubans, at least the ones that get ahead in life ( which is the majority ) DO ASSIMILATE. They assimlate better than any other minority group that I am a aware of besides the jews.

Not only that THEY VOTE REPUBLICAN. Thats why Jeb Bush is the governor of Florida, cubans provided the swing votes.

 

give the cubans more credit than that, will you? let's not turn this into a hate thread.

 

I have to agree most do vote republican and we do control the votes for the most part...where else can a dead person vote....... im just kidding...peace
