As a white American born in Miami, i had a decision to make in 2016. I could continue to not speak spanish and eventually resent my city and move, or i could engulf myself in spanish and really learn the language leading me to love my city even more. 7 years later i am fluent and probably speak spanish 35-40% of the time. Although Miami has its flaws like any other city, i will live no where else and my kids will be bilingual from Miami as well.

In Argentina, everyone who is upper middle class (and higher) has been at least once to Florida. Its very very common here for people to go to Miami, do some shopping and go to the beach, and then go to Orlando to all the theme parks (Disney World, Universal, etc). Sometimes they also go on a cruise too. Some people only go once in their life, but many do it regularly, maybe once every one or two years. Also, a lot of people have bank accounts in the US, usually through Miami, because of how unstable everything is in Argentina. And the most wealthy Argentinians, usually celebrities or business owners, own houses or condos there and live seasonally between Miami and Argentina. The video was spot on, most people choose Miami because number one, they know everyone speaks Spanish and so they feel more comfortable traveling there and being able to communicate themselves flawlessly. And number 2, the weather. The weather in Argentina is shit, and we have terrible beaches. People love the Florida weather. Also, it has become a sort of aspirational thing. All the rich and famous from here love Miami, thus going to Miami makes you cool. That’s more like the nouveau rich tho. There’s a complete different group of wealthy Argentinians who LOVE Europe and they go there all the time.

Interesting Miami facts: Miami was named after the Miami River, derived from Mayaimi, the historic name of Lake Okeechobee and the Native Americans who lived around it. Mayaimi means "big water". The roosters found in South Florida like in Miami and Key West are descendants of Cuban ones bred for fighting. Doing that isn't legal in the US anymore, hence why a lot were released and now roam the region. Little Havana has big rooster statues to honor these Cuban roosters, installed back in 2002 when there was a craze to put animal sculptures up in US cities. They're based on a model sculpted by Tony Lopez who had a pet rooster named Pepe who followed him around. Miami Beach holds the largest collection of Art Deco buildings in the world, and Miami Beach's embrace of Art Deco was a perfect storm of circumstances. The city needed buildings to accommodate all the people (their population inflated to roughly 28,000 by 1940), it had the space to do so, and Art Deco was the style at the time of the 1930s and 1940s. Dozens of architects, like Albert Anis, L. Murray Dixon, and Henry Hohauser, took their talents to South Beach. The Tequesta tribe occupied the Miami area for around 2,000 years before contact with Europeans. A village of hundreds of people, dating to 500 to 600 BCE, was located at the mouth of the Miami River. It is believed that the entire tribe migrated to Cuba by the mid-1700s. Miami is noted as the only major city in the United States founded by a woman. Julia Tuttle, a local citrus grower and a wealthy Cleveland native, was the original owner of the land upon which the city was built. Tuttle was the one who convinced railroad tycoon Henry Flagler to extend his Florida East Coast Railway to the region. Miami was officially incorporated as a city on July 28, 1896, with a population of just over 300. Incredible growth since then!

I know, it's complicated, but Americans also have "invaded" latín American towns and cities, as Acapulco or Punta Cana. Neighborhoods in the centers of our main cities, forcing gentrification and making people who was born in those areas to move. I'm not saying that is good or even that is bad. It's happening in both sides, for different reasons, but is happening...at the end is normal to happen, I accept American living in my country, cabarete for example, a town in the beach in the north part of DR is full of immigrants from the us and Europe, for me is not a problem if they respect the locals and pay their taxes. I'm not trying to convince you that you should be happy with the Florida situation, but to see the whole picture. Illegal immigrants should be deported, of course, but once you are legal you are protected by the law, winning rights and also acquiring responsibilities. Not only the US is made by immigrants, also the whole Latin America continent, so, since our foundation this is happening.@@MA-cs2ty

A great example of Miami culture is "¿Qué Pasa, USA?" which was a sitcom produced for PBS by WPBT in Miami from the late 1970s. The sitcom was monumental because not only was it the first sitcom produced for PBS, but it was the country's first bilingual sitcom too (and one of the first bilingual shows in general)! It's about a Cuban family called the Peñas living in Miami's Little Havana facing an identity crisis. On one side, the elders are trying to preserve their Cuban values and traditions, and on the other, the domination and pressure of Anglo-American society. Or conflict within Cuban values itself as there was once an episode about Catholicism versus the Afro-Cuban religion Santería. As I've mentioned, the show was very much bilingual, with Miami accent (or Cubonics) influence. Switching from Spanish at home to English while out and about. The younger family members and their friends speaking English while the elders spoke just Spanish and were reluctant to learn English showed the generational differences of both the show and the struggle of living a Latino lifestyle in the US in general. And a running gag of the show was the younger members butchering their Spanish grammar or vocabulary. The show's mixing of the two languages is reflected in the name of the show. ¿Qué Pasa, USA? is grammatically incorrect in Spanish since USA in Spanish is EE UU or Estados Unidos. But that's how Cubonics became a thing

I'm glad you mentioned that Cubans arrived in Florida when Cuba was still a Spanish colony, because it is often perceived that all Cubans came to the US after Fidel's revolution when that isn't true as while a lot did come after the revolution, many were already in what's now the US for far longer than that! Tampa and Key West were already Cuban-American centers before the revolution. Key West used to be known as the cigar capital of the world because of the Cuban presence. Devastating fires in Key West in 1886 and 1896 caused many manufacturers to relocate to Tampa. When Cuban national hero José Martí was gathering support for Cuban independence, he visited Tampa and Key West. When there was an assassination attempt in Tampa, he recovered in Paulina Pedroso's boarding house in what's now Parque José Martí...a piece of land that was given to Cuba in 1956. There have even been Cubans in NYC for just as long. NYC is where the current Cuban flag was designed in 1849, and José Martí stayed in NYC when he was in exile. This is why there is a statue of him on horseback in Central Park, which was given to NYC from Cuba. The iconic word "bodega" to mean a corner store actually comes from the Cubans. In Spain, bodega means "wine cellar" but it became the word for corner shop when the word made it to Cuba. In NYC, the first bodegas appear in the 1920s. Then after WWII when Puerto Ricans opened shops in NYC to sell comfort food to Puerto Rican factory workers, Boricuas adopted the word! My mom's side is Cuban, and her parents came to the NYC metro before the revolution because they were working-class people who hated Batista.

I was wondering if anyone would mention Key West "Cayo Hueso" and Tampa as pre-Castro Cuban cigar industry settlements. But because they don't receive enough injections of new immigrants there are lots of people with Spanish surnames that have no idea how to speak Spanish except maybe a few words. It was too long ago.

Though it was pretty ridiculous :P

Lahcsap could you please tell me what is” flasks”? I have been living in a miami for 54 years, working in a customer service departments, dealing with licenses and permits, motor vehicle where the weight of the vehicle and the use or type of transportation or cargo determines the cost. I also needed to explain to customers the legal aspect of owning a motor vehicle and the type of insurance needed for the single vehicle or the a fleet. To make the story short I needed to learn a lot of legal terminology in English and never read that word “ flask” . That is why I needed to know why my English instructor never mentioned to me that in order to be educated and proficient enough to English I needed to use that word. Can anyone tell me please? I do not drink any liquor at all perhaps is this any brand of whiskey? Or wine? Gin? Beer? Bourbon? Scotch? Tequila? Rum?
@Claudette685 ай бұрын
I found out in internet that “ flasks” is a little container to hold ( or hide) liquor so Nobody will notice you are drinking. In other words the person saying the clerk did not know English for not understanding that word is very close mind. Why he did not change the phrase and asked “ Do you have a small bottle or container to pour liquor inside? Usually cheap people who do not want to pay full price at events and restaurant try to hide those small devices inside their cloth to get in the liquor. I did not know the name of that container and it does not mean I did not know English. In Spanish you do not have a name for it.

Because of all the immigrants going to Florida, in 1982, the United States Border Patrol set up a roadblock and inspection point just south of Florida City. The people of the Keys viewed this as the government effectively viewing them as another nation, and the Key West City Council claimed the roadblock hurt their tourism industry. In response, Mayor Dennis Wardlow and the council declared Key West's independence as the Conch Republic in April of that year. As part of the protest, Mayor Wardlow immediately declared war against the US by symbolically breaking a loaf of stale Cuban bread over the head of a man dressed in a naval uniform, quickly surrendered after one minute, and applied for one billion dollars in foreign aid. Two invasions happened in 1995. In September, it was reported that the 478th Civil Affairs Battalion of the Army Reserve conducted conduct a training exercise simulating an invasion of a foreign island. However, Key West officials weren't notified. Thus, they mobilized, sending a schooner and attacked a Coast Guard cutter with water balloons, conch fritters, and stale Cuban bread. During the government shutdown at the end of that year, Dry Tortugas was closed. The Conch Republic wanted it to remain open, so in protest, they sent a flotilla of Conch Navy, civilian, and fire department boats. And in 2006, the Conch Republic annexed the Seven Mile Bridge because the US claimed it wasn't US territory under "wet feet, dry feet".

I lived in Miami-Dade for 5 of the most formative years of my life, and because of this, a piece of my heart will always live there. My family is from Puerto Rico and we mostly lived in NYC, but later moved to Miami for many years. It truly is a multicultural hub within Florida, and there's very few places like it in the US, imho. My friends and neighbors were majority Black or Latino, and honestly, I remember having more white teachers than classmates, most everyone around our community was non-white (later moving to NC was a major culture shock for me). You can find any type of Carribean or Central American restaurant you can think of, you hear different languages daily depending on where you live- of course English, Haitian, many Spanish dialects (including Spanglish 😂), French from southern creole folks or Africans- you name it. And so much rich Native American history in Florida; in school, we learned about the Miccosukee and Seminole tribes. Many streets, counties, cities, and rivers in Florida are named after native American tribes or words like Okeechobee and Okaloosa counties, the Caloosahatchee river, the city of Kissimmee, etc. But Miami, in particular, is just a colorful place to live in general. It's like NYC with a warmer climate and friendlier neighbors who speak and do business in Spanish. I probably wouldn't live there again because of high rent and overcrowding, but it's a wonderful place to visit and take in Latin American and Carribean culture without leaving the country.

Juan de Oñate and other colonists established what eventually became the cities of Santa Fe and Albuquerque New Mexico. They established the Camino Real (Royal Road) which originated in Mexico City, winding north through important Mexican silver cities, and into El Paso and Santa Fe. Even today, many New Mexicans have Spanish Sephardic Jewish genetic ancestry from settlement during that period. After independence Mexico still used this route to send more colonist settlers into its northern territories. The 1700s is when states like today's California first received permanent settlers though.

I'd love to move there, but it seems like big leap because its not technically a part of the US, and when I go there I still feel like an outsider because its very different, I get a culture shock. I've never been to Miami, and from what I've heard from other people, that its an amazing city. And after watching this video, I really want to go check the city out. It can prepare me and be my launching point to move to Puerto Rico, or if I really love the city more than Puerto Rico, then I'll stay.

If you want a more "Boriqua" culture than Miami I would suggest Orlando / Kissimmee instead. It's just more "Suburban" than Miami though but the culture is there.

@xoxxobob61 Yeah, I've been to Orlando, nice city. I'm not really looking for only small Boricua communities, I'd like to live in a big city that just has more latin culture in general. Orlando I didn't see it as like a big latin hub, it was still pretty much a mixed city. Haven't driven around Kissimmee, I should go check that out. But also, I love big cities. What I've heard and seen from the internet and from people I know that have been there, is Miami is a big city, beautiful women, its clean, and some areas feel like your in Puerto Rico. And now, from this video and from people in the comments, hearing that the majority of the demographic is hispanic and Spanish and latin culture is everywhere. Sounds like my kind of city. Also I've heard from other Puerto Ricans that Kissimmee is kinda boring, and that there's a joke that the Chicago and NYC Puerto Rican communities are better than Kissimmee and the other communities. But I also don't want to move up north into the small communities.

@Myhandle718 Nah, I'm not interested going up north and I've been to the Bronx it's not super hispanic, it's still pretty mixed. Plus it's just one community in the city, I'm looking for a city that's entirely dominated with latin culture.

Funny that some dude with a foreign accent is acting like Miami being mostly Latino is something new. Like as a Latino myself it's been like this all my life. Many hispanic productions come from Miami this days. Florida itself was a Spanish colony for a long time as well so there was always Hispanic influence. Also not only Miami is that way but Orlando as well. Go to MCO and you realized real quick that Spanish is the language spoken by most people there.

because the wealthy in south america have vacation homes in miami. When their country go down, they move to miami. The house can be used as an investment towards your residence investment application. The first to flee any country are the wealthy, then educated people second followed by the rest. This was my cased, I moved from venezuela in 2004 to our vacation home in vero beach florida.

I'm Uruguayan and visited the US twice, places like California, Miami, Texas, I speak fluent English but would often just forget and directly talk to people in spanish - only to be suprrised when someone didn't get what I was saying and I was remindd that it's supposed to be an English-language country. The US is great for Spanish speaking tourists, feeling welcome and at home. For Spanish speaking americans not living inthe US the "latin american" tag sounds ridiculous because language and culture varies a lot between countries - I am Uruguayan, and stop there. But I guess when you're in a foreign country where culture and language is definitely at another level of difference you will settle to cluster with those you feel closer - even with largely varying accents, looks and origins.
