No question about the country/state? Also I presume it's only US Americans that consider it the LA capital ...

Some US Americans, maybe. I've never heard it referred to as such, personally. I've never been to the area, though.

It’s called the capital of Latin America by Latinos. We are known as a safe haven for Latinos who escaped from bad situations in their own country. There is also NYC, but Miami is closer. We have a bunch (and I mean A BUNCH) of Cubans, but we also have Brazilians, Spaniards, Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Hondurans, Salvadorians, Haitians (thanks to France they are technically Latino), and Argentinians. For example, I’m part Brazilian, Cuban, and Spanish. We don’t care about ethnicities. In fact, some of us don’t care if you were an illegal immigrants.

Google "capital of Latin America" and Miami is overwhelmingly the result with articles not just from the US but from the BBC and others with the nickname reaching back more than 30 years. At this point, it's not just some "appropriation," and even it is, it's been a pretty damn successful one.

Successful or not, it doesn't make sense to me. Even the first article in Google search begins "With the largest Latin American population outside of Latin America..."

Dexter is a better show than Miami Vice.

And I'd like to mention a movie set in Miami that was better than Bad Boys but right now I can only think of 2 Fast 2 Furious and that might actually be worse.

+1 for Ace Ventura! And +.5 for Dexter. It was one of my favorites at first, but the last few seasons turned really bad...

I only thought season 8 was bad, and I didn't even mind the ending as much as most people did.

I hear there is a new series of Dexter planned as the ending received so many complaints...

As a show it surpasses Miami Vice by some distance.

The best movie set in Miami (by a fairly wide margin) is Moonlight.

Correction: “Based on how quickly is has grown”- is should be it.

Though, I hate the weather, I love the fact I was born in Miami. I love the culture here. I might be biased but I don’t care.
