MSNBC: U.S. Tourists ‘Can Be a Plague on the Rest of the World,’ We Might Ruin Cuba

HARRIS-PERRY:  "On the one hand, it is great to reopen these relationships. On the other hand, I worry about American tourists and the ways we can sometimes be a plague on the rest of the world, particularly in these nations that become high-tourist economies. And I’m wondering if there’s a downside to our economic ties opening up with Cuba, for Cuba!" 
GUTIERREZ: "For me, let me take the opposite position here, which is that I think we have to stop fetishizing the Cuba of old cars and run down architecture. Cubans are entitled to a good standard of living. That may mean having a home Depot in Cuba. And I think we need to respect that. So before we worry so much about whether or not the arrival of American capitalism changes something in Cuba, I think we need to recognize that Cubans have for 50 years been denied many of the basics of modern life."
HARRIS-PERRY: "I hear you, I do, but there’s still this kind of cultural hegemony clash that can exist."
