the assigned texts we have been reading there have been many underlying themes that all contribute to one major theme, racism in early Cuba. Early white Cuban’s and Cuban politicians denied racism in the country as a whole, calling Cuba a nation of Racial Democracy, but the entire social, economical, and political classes were setup with a type of “caste” system based off of racial profiling.
