It was an inflammatory epithet aimed at an ethnicity
I mean, that is a garbage response from that poster, and we should ABSOLUTELY give them shit, but there was no epithet.

Haitians everywhere rejoice.
I look forward to the day the Trump administration votes your rights away, your privileges, and your freedoms. So when you look around in desperation for any kind of hope I can look you in the eye and tell you to Go fuck yourself.
As a Mexican immigrant living in America, I think they already did this, lol.
Hmm...how about you can go fuck yourself along with your nasty comment? Grow up you before posting random shit like this.If the goal is normalizing relations between the two countries then it's a great thing. Also, Florida's Cuban community can go fuck itself.
As a Cuban American whose family came to this country, worked our asses off, and made something of ourselves for the past 50+ years. You can go right along and burn in hell you racist piece of dog shit. People like you are completely ignorant of other culture's struggles.

Are immigrants from other countries fleeing a communist state where they will be imprisoned and God knows what else if sent back?
If so, yes.
I'm not american btw. I'm also from Latin America. I would never resent a Cuban for getting an "easy way" into America. If anyone resents Cubans because of that they're just ignorant.
I'm not and Obama's legacy regarding Cuba is embarrassing.
What the fuck? What a slap to the face to people who literally give their life for freedom. Yeah! Fuck them for fleeing communism amirite?
Why don't you drop your pants a little more for Raul Castro, Obama?
This is sickening.
Seeing Trump supporters praise this on Twitter is all kinds of funny.
Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are going to fire some shots.
Those Cubans treat Haitians like theyre beneath them in Miami, so they ought to celebrate.
Do you think Chinese, Syrians, Russians, Egyptians and Iranians that arrive in the US should get automatic green cards as well?
I mean, is it wrong to say this is the ideal? Unrealistic, but the standard we should strive towards, not a policy of shutting people out.
Because an automatic green card leaves it open to abuse. There was just a case yesterday where the Feds confiscated about $28 million in property from a Chinese woman who went to the US fraudulently under the EB-5 visa program--the money was embezzled funds from the Chinese government.I mean, is it wrong to say this is the ideal? Unrealistic, but the standard we should strive towards, not a policy of shutting people out.
The Cubans against immigration for every other ethnicity and nationality can go fuck themselves. Not going to throw the entire group under the bus, but I can't stand that level of hypocrisy and self-serving interest.
People ignorant as fuck about the Cuban community telling it to go fuck themselves while whitewashing a horrific fucking dictatorship. Yep, must be GAF.
Seeing Trump supporters praise this on Twitter is all kinds of funny.
The moment you realize they never really liked or wanted you here but thanks for the votes.
Yeah my understanding is they are the definition of "fuck you, I got mine."If the goal is normalizing relations between the two countries then it's a great thing. Also, Florida's Cuban community can go fuck itself.
Oh cool, did the political oppression die with Castro?
Can you tell us what is your position on Venezuela?2012 Cuban-American vote was 53% Obama, 47% Romney
2016 Cuban-American vote was 41% Clinton, 54% Trump.
The Cuban-Americans are not a monolith. NeoGAF is almost as embarrassing on the topic of Cuba as it is about Venezuela.
Do we know that the poster himself isn't Cuban?Seems cut and dry to me
A lot of it is actually the same exact things that were there at the time; buildings, infrastructure, cars, even the current president.
Growing up in a Hispanic community I was familiar with all of the Cuban stereotypes.
For some reason actually reading it written out by others, on here of all places, is kind of weird.
The President of Cuba during the Missile Crisis died last year. Just saying!
It's because it's nonsense to have "wet foot, dry foot" for Cubans while immigrants from other countries (Many of which are in far worse shape) get fucked.Is it just me or is this a little unobama? Is it because cubans are overwhelmingly republican?
As a Florida Cuban I agree 100%If the goal is normalizing relations between the two countries then it's a great thing. Also, Florida's Cuban community can go fuck itself.
Can you tell us what is your position on Venezuela?
Sure, to be brief: the Chavez/Maduro regime has been horrible, the people are suffering, it's a farce of a democracy, and the rhetoric of "the regime is heroic, resisting Western imperialism! It's just the capitalists who are mad!" that shows up on GAF is narrow-minded and ignorant about what people there are facing.
The views on Cuba are similar, but people add a lick of entitlement to it - "I want to go to Cuba for vacation! Bring on the Cuban cigars!" It'd be like if they deported every Chinese person from the US, and the major take-away from the tragedy is "this is terrible, where are we going to get dim sum now?"
you know i love ya man, but there's some irony in rebutting that statement from one single gaffer by painting the entire community with a broad brush
ill grant you that a lot of asses were shown when castro died, but that also was far from exclusive to GAF
That's going to do more to end illegal immigration than the billions-dollar fence!
Good. If they are seeking political asylum now, it's a scam.
I mean, I think it, but seeing it written seems pretty harsh lol..
I had to think about it a little bit, 'Why fuck them'? And then I thought 'Oh yeah that's why'.
This right here.
With all the discussion about immigration during the elections I'm surprised this was never brought up.
Ah yes, the good ol' "fuck you, I got mine" attitude. Cuban Americans truly are Republicans.
Good, less republicans flooding into our country.
Yeah my understanding is they are the definition of "fuck you, I got mine."
How does normalizing trade relations with Cuba equate to deporting every Chinese person from the US?
Yeah, let's just shit on a community because a plurality of them vote Republican, and were successful. And all of GAF? No, but let's be honest, Cubans are the Hispanic minority that it's 'ok' to shit all over by people who would be up in fucking arms, and rightly so if similar generalizations were thrown at Venezuelans, Mexicans, Nicaraguans, and the like. And this isn't the first time either.

Any community that gets special privileges due to their disproportionate influence on the game theory surrounding the electoral college can go fuck itself.

There isn't a direct comparison; the idea I'm trying to get across is the attitude that people tend to regard Cuba and its problems like it means little else than whether they can take a vacation or smoke some cigars. When people do that, they maybe don't see the problems people have gone through there for decades.
