Cuban kids started coming into my school around junior high and there were no Black kids until my senior year but we all got along and that’s when the questions started because it just didn’t make sense.. the mocking and belittling. I ended up marrying my Cuban boyfriend even though out of respect, he talked to my dad beforehand but I was excommunicated from the family just the same.I’d do it all over again because it was a win for me that my son was never exposed to their religious, hateful behavior
