    First generation in the USA as Cuban Chinese. I’d love to connect with anyone to share stories. My grandmother is getting old and it’s challenging to get the full scoop so I’d love to have someone to piece some of the stories with together.

    I feel sorry for this guy! He has lost his entire community, and a great part of what his identity was based on!

    I can really feel for this man. I have ancestry from cuba but of Filipino ancestry and afro cuban. The existence of Filipino cubans is also hard to come by and I wish I could learn more about my great grandmothers homeland before she passed. All I know is that her mother was from Manila

      Not to mention China has moved from 94th largest economy on Earth to the 2nd spot in 30 years. Cubans are good at biotechnology and medicine.

    There needs to be documentaries on the asian indian and arabs in the caribbean because trinidad and tobago , Guyana and suriname has a lot .it's still good to talk about Chinese - caribbeans but I think they purposely refuse to talk about the indian and arab caribbeans . today 45 % of trinidad's population is of india indian ancestry as well as guyana and suriname not to mention suriname is the only part of the americas that has a large javanese population . Cuba isn't the only caribbean island and what about arab - cubanos?

    The English subtitles are delayed by a few seconds in a few places. Yo lo sé porque hablo español.

    It's equivalent to the vanishing of Jewish in China with very rare trace.
