because Finland is just 2,500 miles from Mongolia - the same distance as from NY to LA
and of course Spaniards, Italians, Greeks and even French are not that far removed from Turks and Egyptians - they're all Mediterranean so to speak
as for Latinos in Florida well you have Marco Rubio who speaks Spanish and you have Anna Paulina Luna who recently led a trip to El Salvador
Ted Cruz is from Texas but his pops is Cuban so he may as well have been from Florida
are they a "different race" from "us" ?
you might as well argue that Scandinavians are a different race from Greeks and of course some people do make that distinction "Med vs Nord"
but what really counts is income level. income levels in Florida are pretty low compared to say Massachussetts ... but also income levels of Mediterranean countries like Greece and Spain are lower than that of Scandinavian countries ...
so you can think of Florida as Greece and Massachussetts as Sweden
Greece is sort of a gateway to MENA ( Middle East North Africa ) and Florida is a gateway to Caribbean and Latin America in general
and Texas and California are a gateway to Mexico and central America
