I think Miami has a lot of foundational issues that will prevent it from ever becoming a serious tech city:
- the Spanish language is more prevalent than English and there might be even some prejudice against people who don't speak Spanish;
- it's primarily a vacation and retirement place where people go to have fun, drink, and engage in shady business (florida man)
- it doesn't have good universities
- the primary other industry is real estate only
You're saying there is general prejudice against non Spanish speakers in Miami? I could understand this in certain industries that heavily interface with Spanish speakers, but just in general? Really?!
