When Castro came to power in Cuba, the population of people of color in Cuba was disproportionately poor, lacking sufficient medical care, social services, and educational opportunities. Racism ran counter to Castro's passion for social justice, so he enacted policies to desegregate beaches, parks, construction sites, and social clubs. It banned all forms of discrimination, including discrimination in employment and education. Castro also worked to increase the number of Afro-Cuban political representatives, with the percentage of black members in the Council of State increasing from 12.9% in 1976 to 25.8% in 2003. 13 When talking about the impacts of Hitler's minority policy, under these circumstances the Jews should be eliminated, not because they are not important but because the problems between Hitler and the Jews are already well known. In saying this, the Nazis considered many groups undesirable, including homosexuals, black Germans, Jehovah's Witnesses, and the disabled.14 As part of their punishment in 1933, Hitler had 400 black Germans sterilized so that they would not cannot reproduce. Beyond minorities, Hitler was apparently opposed to women having any power, whether in his party or in society in general. Or he wanted to manipulate the woman into stopping working. In June 1933, he introduced the "Unemployment Assistance Act" which provided a loan of 1,000 Reichsmarks (about $4,500) to a couple only if the wife had a job and was going to leave it to the husband for that he works15. Even before this, Hitler had banned women from taking jobs in the Nazi Party until he finally banned them from having jobs. Castro, on the other hand, was entirely supportive of the inclusion of women in society. Apart from social policies like free abortion and easier divorce, he was determined to put women to work.
