A Floating Tire

One myth, that is really more of a stereotype that I have to put up with is the assumption that since I am Cuban my family came over on a floating tire. This is false, we came over on a raft. I'm joking of course but ever since the whole Elio Gonzales incident Cubans have had to deal with this myth for a while. My family came over on one of the last planes before Castro closed off Cuba. My family worked hard to get up the money to purchase a plane ticket during those rough times and deserves the proper respect. On a side not my uncle actually did have to flee Cuba on a BOAT because Castro learned about a regime he was starting.
