What are some Cuban or Spanish Stereotypes?
I’m writing a ten-minute play for my theatre classed based on Stereotypes. The assignment asks for us to choose stereotypes affiliated with our heritage, so I decided to pick either Spanish or Cuban; problem is, I have no idea what stereotypes are really affiliated with either.
So if someone could help me out, it’d be MUCH appreciated.
i like when Cubans say Cuba.. they pronounce it like "Coobah"
I would say a Cuban lives in Miami, FL. they wear gold chains, lots of gold chains and act gangster-ish, not black gang, like mafia, but Cuban mafia.. they were big shades, hairy chests with shirt open..
Spanish there are two types.. Spain=passionate lovers/ladies men. Mexico=poor, dirty, sombrero’s and those shirt/throws they wear like dirty hairy, tequilla-drinking, camaro or truck driving or fixing, big families, young latina women are sexy ballroom dancers.
For more spanish stereo types of the ones in America I would check out online or a comedy cd or show of Carlos Mencia… you might also find some Coobahn stereo types to help you too.
one could be that cubans smoke cigars? lol im cuban..and so is my dad….and we don’t haha

A Cuban stereotype is a guy with a Lt. uniform who has a big black mustache, sunglasses, and a cigar. A Spanish stereotype is a salsa dancer or a matador.

I don’t know any Cuban specific stereotypes but here are some of the better known ones for Hispanic,
Loud Meringue Music, Huge families with each member talking over each other, low education, poor jobs such as food picker or fast food, crazy drivers, passionate, good dancers, latino time (that is I’ll be there at 1:30 means, I’ll see you sometime today), switch to spanish or spanglish when talking to another spanish speaking person excluding any english speakers.
Sorry not trying to be racist these are just some of the common stereotypes. I hope this helps.

Im Australian and i’ve never met a Cuban. What comes to mind is Fidel Castro and cigars lol. I know its only a stereotype. Also because im into boxing, i know they have good amatuer boxers but they’re government doesn’t let them turn proffesional because it is prohibited. Not sure if people know alot about it so it probably won’t be worth putting in your play, just an idea.
Spanish stereotypes… Ive got nothing besides Soccer, tango dancing and and Running with the Bulls
