Funniest thing is that if that dude had just said, “Cuba,” this would have been a non-issue. The joke structure would have been exactly the same, and it would have still been a dog whistle for racists, but Cuban Americans are largely anti-communist ex-pats. They probably wouldn’t have been thrilled to hear Cuba described as garbage, but if they got angry, it probably would have blown over by saying, “the joke was a reference to what communism has done to cuba.” Instead, he picked an island full of people that can easily move to the US mainland and vote. Absolutely spectacular.
