Hi dear friends at “TL”..!

Same series Cuba...

Havana, like the rest of Cuba, is populated mostly by people of Spanish ancestry. In the era before Fidel Castro came to power, the city was economically and ethnically divided. On the one hand, there was the minority of the wealthy, educated elite, together with a strong middle class, and on the other was the working-class majority. This division was largely based on ethnic background: whites tended to be more well-to-do, while blacks and mulattoes generally were poor.

The economic structure did not provide much opportunity for blacks and mulattoes except in the more menial occupations. There was also little opportunity for them to obtain an education. Under the Castro government that came to power in 1959, this system changed. Educational and employment opportunities were made available to Cubans of all ethnic backgrounds. In housing, the government follows an official policy of no discrimination based on ethnic background, and independent observers tend to believe this policy has been more or less faithfully carried out.

During the 18th, 19th and early part of the 20th century, large waves of Canarian, Catalan, and Galician emigrated to La Habana.

There is a population of internal migrants to Havana nicknamed "Palestinos"; these mostly hail from the eastern region of Orient. Havana has a significant minority of Chinese, before the revolution the Chinese population counted to over 200,000. Havana also shelters a population of non-Cubans of unknown size. There is a population of several thousand North African teen and pre-teen refugees.
Roman Catholics form the largest religious group in Havana. The Jewish community in Havana has reduced after the Revolution from once having embraced more than 150,000 Jews, many of whom had fled Nazi persecution and subsequently left Cuba to Miami or returned to Israel after Castro took to power in 1959.
