When Castro came to power in Cuba, the black population 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 passed policies to desegregate beaches, parks, workplaces, and social clubs. It outlawed 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 expanding from 12.9% in 1976 to 25.8% in 2003.13 When it comes to the impacts of Hitler's policies on minorities in this circumstance, the Jews should be eliminated, not because they are not important, but because it is a fact already known, the problems between Hitler and the Jews. In saying this, the Nazis considered many groups to be undesirable including: homosexuals, black Germans, Jehovah's Witnesses, and disabled people.14 As part of their punishment in 1933, Hitler had 400 black Germans sterilized so that they could not reproduce. Not just talking about minorities, Hitler was apparently against any kind of woman having any kind of power, both in his party and in society at large. Or he wanted to manipulate the woman into stopping working. In June 1933 he introduced the “Unemployment Relief Act” which granted a loan of 1,000 Reichsmarks (about 4,500 dollars) to a couple only if the woman had a job and left it to her husband to work15. Even before that Hitler had banned women from having jobs in the Nazi Party until he finally banned them from having jobs. Castro, on the other hand, was entirely in favor of the inclusion of women in society. Outside of social policies like free abortion and easier divorce, he was adamant about involving women in work
