I lived in Florida for years and knew plenty of Cubans. But just looking at a white woman would not clue me in as to whether she was of Cuban descent or not. Same with looking at a black man.

I have a hat with the Irish flag on it. No MAGA hats though. Wearing a hat with an Irish flag on it doesn't make me Irish.
