Content creator Karla Martin (@karlybeautyservices) sparked a conversation many have felt but few have expressed openly. In her latest TikTok video, the Cuban influencer questions those who, despite living in the United States and benefiting from its opportunities, consistently criticize the nation. In a straightforward manner, Karla stated, "Let me get this straight... You live in the United States, take advantage of its benefits, achieve your dreams, yet you only talk about what's wrong with this country? I don't understand."
This bold statement triggered a wave of responses. Many praised her viewpoint, with one follower commenting, "Wow, there are so many like that. I don't get it either," while another remarked, "Well, you told it like it is." Some shared their personal experiences, such as one individual who noted, "I came here legally and don't receive 'benefits.' I work hard... I would never speak ill of this country."
Dividing Opinions Among Cuban Immigrants
The comments highlighted a divide, particularly among Cuban immigrants. Some didn't hesitate to criticize those who speak poorly of the U.S., saying, "Because the worst plague in the world is our own. Envious, malicious, dissatisfied..." Another took it further, stating, "Those from the 'garbage Islands' are the ones who resonate most with what you just said. There are people here who don't deserve to be."
