But yeah. You're right. I'm not making it up. Miami exiles are mostly light colored Cubans. There's an article about how black Cubans aren't able to benefit from the exile money. The documentary I posted shows that the farm laborers are mostly black and forced, essentially, into servitude.

There was a very thoughtful discussion in the Latin American group about this issue but I can't find it at the moment. I realize this is GD and people might not want to discuss it. If I wake up and there are replies challenging me to find it I will do so. I know it's out there.
