Florida as a multicultural Frontier

We can characterize Florida as a multicultural frontier because it has been a place where a lot of cultures have come together. Florida is a very diverse state. Florida has cities that have been innovative in allowing other cultures to incorporate their cultures into Florida cities. Many Cuban refugees have fled to Florida and they make up a large percentage of the population. Cubans make up an even larger part of the Miami population which has many Cuban cultural aspects to it. Also many people have moved to Florida from Puerto Rico. There is a large influence of Puerto Ricans especially in Central Florida. Many other people of Hispanic descent also live in the Florida area. Florida has also developed cultural influx due to its large tourism industry. When people from other regions of the United States or other countries come to Florida the state ends up offering cultural options that appeal to the tourists from their given region. All of the examples above are great examples of why we can characterize Florida as a multicultural frontier.
