After noting that she is \u201cdefinitely not an expert on race relations internationally,\u201d she responded that \u201cif you want to see the most equal, multiracial democ\u2026 it\u2019s not a democracy \u2014 the most equal, multi-racial country in our hemisphere, it would be Cuba.\u201d\u201cCuba has the least inequality between black and white people of any place really in the hemisphere,\u201d she added. \u201cI mean the Caribbean \u2014 most of the Caribbean, it\u2019s hard to count because the white population in a lot of those countries is very, very small, they\u2019re countries run by black folks, but in places that are truly at least biracial countries, Cuba actually has the least inequality, and that\u2019s largely due to socialism, which I\u2019m sure no one wants to hear.\u201dReports confirm, however, that the Cuban government has a history of favoring the island\u2019s white population.\u201cCritics alleged that educational policy and official culture remained strongly Euro-centric,\u201d the Minority Rights Group International says about Fidel Castro\u2019s regime. \u201cAfro-Cubans were not, for example, widely represented in the higher echelons of the ruling Communist Party or in the upper levels of the civil service or state industries. And, with few exceptions, Afro-Cuban women have not yet reached the highest professional strata.\u201dThe Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
