Any ship that docks in Cuba is barred entry to US ports in the next 180 days.

I think you’re right.
I used to teach first year undergraduates and the first time they heard the American term “people of colour” invariably led to a lot of confusion and offence because many of them (especially PoC themselves) initially thought it was insulting.

My childhood was a bit difficult, but very fun, but my teen years were hard.
After about 23 everything just got better and better for me, emotionally, financially, career-wise, everything.
Then in my mid 30s I was struck down by an illness that takes most aspects of your life away and throws you back into poverty. So that has been really hard, losing my career, ability to work or socialize, etc.
