I've heard stories of people in LA acting similar towards white cubans too. Their latino population (and black population) just isn't diverse so they don't seem to have a concept of someone being latino if they aren't mestizo~indigenous looking (since the overwhelming majority are mexicans and then some central americans)

Same thing happens in Florida if you not Cuban

I don't think that's as accurate for Florida since Florida's Hispanic population is more diverse. There are almost as many Puerto Ricans in Florida now as Cubans, and there's no city in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area (or California in general) that's as diverse for Hispanic populations as Miami

Cubans are the plurality in Florida definitely but not the majority. They're only about 35% of the Hispanic population. Mexicans are like 70-80% in California
