Cuban Apartheid caught on tape.

In this video a Spanish tourist attempts to check into the famous Havana Libre Hotel with his girlfriend. The problem is that she's a Cuban citizen and therefore forbidden from staying there. The clerk explains that they need a marriage license or she would need to be a permanent resident of another country. The issue is not that they are not married. If the girl were Spaniard or even Cuban with Spanish residency she there would be no problem. Spanish hoteliers that do business in Cuba agree to enforce the government's disgusting apartheid practices.

End Cuban Apartheid!

"Hasta la Victoria Siempre!"

Oh yeah.  Fuck you siempre.

Funny last time I checked I can't travel to Cuba freely either without being threatened with charges of "treason". Love that U.S. "freedom". You can't even go most places unless you plan on spending money otherwise your kicked out. So what business do most Cubans have in tourist hotels (spending money they don't have?) and how is that any different than any other capitalist business policy? And isn't prostitution wrong? That's what is going on here.

[eaglephin]

Secondly your comment about not being able to go places in the U.S. is bullshit. Anyone can check into any hotel in America with whatever companion they want to check into. As to what business they have going to hotels, well jackass considering it's their fucking country I'd say they have a lot of business. But not only do I disagree with you shithead, the murderous Raul Castro does to because he has since removed those restrictions.

Lastly, the only prostitute is your mother. And even if the girl in the video were a prostitute (which she's not) the Cuban revolution supposedly was going to end prostitution. Just another failure of fidel castro and his fucking cronies like you come pinga.

I am cuban, I went to Cuba in 2006, I couldn't pass to Cayo Coco, because one of my relatives (cousin and family) did not have my same last name,In the car were my son(8 years), my husband , my cousin, his wife and their baby girl (9 month)and myself. There was not any indication of prostitution, or any illegal action

And they were not allow to enter to the "territory", that was the word they used, because they were Cubans,

that's discrimination!!!

[MrsDoGood]

Ruizscar, there wouldn't be any jineteras (escorts) if it weren't for the fact Cubans are extremely impoverished. Your little hamburger cart (el carrito) would be taken away from you in Cuba. Just wait until Chavez decides to take over businesses in Venezuela. You'll be out of luck without (el carrito), and you'll never see a hamburger again. You'll be ready to become a jinetero yourself just to survive.

@IzRaHFeL4 this is a lie. I have friends who travel to cuba all the time. You need to fly from other countries. You want be charged with anything. Do your research before you speak. You can EVEN FLY from the UNITED STATES if you get a permit from the treasury department. Zip it

[v19d]

@geganerd3 Heard Raul made a new rule. He says all cubans can stay in the resort hotels. He must of came under international pressure.

[v19d]

It's a type of aparthed that is based on nationality and residency.

[geganerd3]

dude, no FUCKING way you can end apartheid in Cuba, even if EXTREME apartheid in Cuba. Why?

IT'S A COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT!!!!

[CrankBeatz1]

@SaintErnesto you really don't know what the fuck you're saying. or you must be extremely dumb. that's sad man!

[kwacou]

If she were Afro Cuban, it would have been worse.

[NaturalBornHedonist]

Hmmm I was at the Inglaterra Hotel...I had no problems bringin my Cuban gf to stay with me each nicht !!! But yes there seems to be some kind of Apartheit were tourists are allowed everywhere while the Cuban people are denied entry in clubs. discos and bars ... that creates big resentment among the cubans... this might one day cause a serious back-lash !!! Because it is injustice of a very large scale!!!

[vatan1923]

rules have been change in cuba last year 2009. now cuban local peopel can go to any hotel as long as they pay but if you want to take the girl to hotel just you pay or gave the money to her and let her pay forherself with your money. After you have regester you can take her to your room. Even she has her own room because she paid . this is for anybody

[Unclesamslair]

isn't this just a rule the hotels use to cover their asses so that they can't be accused of aiding or profitting for prostitution. After all if you're a foreign tourist with a cuban prostitute, then there's no way you can take her to your hotel. they have similar rules in japan.

That looks too great of a hotel to be in Cuba. I am Cuban and have not been there, but i have read articles and seen videos on the country. I was reading a book on a man who recently went to cuba and he spoke of the Habana libre being a venerable and rundown hotel.
