They also.
Hispanic Caribbeans are more related to each other than to other Hispanic American.

I think that's true. After the revolution a few of my cousins moved to PR and they have been very happy and at home there. I've met a number of Puerto Ricans and I think there are many similarities; I think Cuba had a larger number of more recent Spanish immigrants and so I think we were a little more Spanish influenced (at least those who were from the western half of the isle, and certainly my family as most of the family came over on both sides in the post colonial period). I don't know any Dominicans but seeing from their posts, and my various interactions with some here, it seems that there are also many similar attitudes. I would love to visit PR and DR and will do so someday.
