In a recent viral TikTok video, the user @teresacreandoestilofg expressed how much the stereotypes associated with Cubans in Miami caught her attention.
According to what she narrates in the video, she has received comments labeling her as "not looking Cuban" due to her way of expressing herself, which some consider "less vulgar" compared to other Cubans in the city.
The TikToker commented that, on several occasions, she has noticed that "most of the Cubans in Miami shout and speak in a vulgar manner" and dress differently from her style, something she says she does not identify with.
In the comments of the video, many users have shared their own experiences, both of rejecting stereotypes and of pride in their Cuban roots.
"I do notice your Cuban accent, it's just that you are a decent and educated woman, but your Cuban accent is noticeable," "It's just that there are a lot of common people in Miami," "She lived in Europe, Cuban women in Europe are different," or "I am Cuban and live in the United States and my vocabulary is not vulgar. It has more to do with the education and upbringing we have than where we live or where we are from."
These types of situations highlight the diversity within the Cuban community itself and how prejudices can affect perception and coexistence.
The video has received thousands of views and comments, highlighting the importance of not generalizing and appreciating cultural diversity without falling into negative stigmatizations.
