Cuban/Dominican Culture

I find it interesting how both of these cultures have such strong, proud establishments in the United States. The Cubans have nearly their own city in Miami and Dominicans usually hold large parades in the cities where they are present. Include this with Puerto Ricans and you have three distinct groups that are not afraid to show a large amount of pride in their heritage that other Hispanic groups do not tend to show as flagrantly in America. It is odd though because these groups are also some of the more assimilated groups into the American mainstream.
