You're confusing Cajuns with Creoles. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 17/10/2009 07:28:35 AM
Louisiana Creoles are typically a blend of French settlers, black slaves, and the occasional Native American. They've historically pretty much kept to themselves and been hated by the world. Which, historically, they've been fine with, since they've hated the world right back.

Cajuns are the descendants of Acadians expelled from Canada. They are exceedingly numerous if you count people who are partially Cajun (I'm one), but not so much if you're only counting "pure" Cajuns.

Interracial couple denied marriage license in La. everynametaken - 16/10/2009 03:44:53 AM 1083 Views
What? He seems like a pretty rational guy. Craig - 16/10/2009 04:08:36 AM 614 Views
Yeah, he DOES have black friends! He even treats them like everyone else! Lol. everynametaken - 16/10/2009 05:15:13 AM 617 Views
Yeah. They don't have to crap in the yard. He says they can use his bathroom. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 16/10/2009 03:47:24 PM 284 Views
Hell, I have friends who won't let me do that. *NM* Craig - 16/10/2009 06:46:37 PM 262 Views
To get technical, he doesn't say he lets them... just that they do. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 16/10/2009 07:11:29 PM 293 Views
I can't imagine why anyone would want to crap in this guy's lawn... it's a puzzler. *NM* Craig - 16/10/2009 08:57:06 PM 300 Views
WTF? what is wrong with people?! this makes me wanna pull my hair out! its 2009!!!! Aisha - 16/10/2009 04:19:49 AM 682 Views
How are mixed race children treated in Louisiana? Here, nobody under the age of 60 could care less Tashmere - 16/10/2009 05:19:49 AM 618 Views
I was thinking the same thing. everynametaken - 16/10/2009 06:41:07 AM 589 Views
aren't Cajuns a mix of multiple races (whites and indians mostly)?? Cajuns ARE Loiusiana *NM* imlad - 16/10/2009 05:05:18 PM 247 Views
There really are not that many Cajuns Loiusiana random thoughts - 16/10/2009 06:12:07 PM 582 Views
There are a fair amount. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/10/2009 07:25:21 AM 229 Views

Depends on where you are. Ghavrel - 17/10/2009 07:30:54 AM 557 Views
That's just absurd. *NM* Sophy - 16/10/2009 06:46:39 AM 243 Views
Some unions are opposed because they can't breed - but here the ability to breed is the problem! Cannoli - 16/10/2009 11:37:34 AM 794 Views
Wild guess: Civil rights act? Floffe - 16/10/2009 03:04:58 PM 616 Views
Personal freedoms trump that. He was not outlawing or preventing it, just refusing to go along. Cannoli - 16/10/2009 03:34:22 PM 592 Views
In this case it might not make much of a difference, but you can't allow it as a general rule. Legolas - 16/10/2009 03:39:52 PM 543 Views
Isn't JP a government position? In that case, his personal freedoms have nothing to do with it *NM* Floffe - 16/10/2009 03:55:32 PM 293 Views
This. beetnemesis - 16/10/2009 05:46:10 PM 531 Views
So the officials who obeyed the laws supporting race discrimination were doing good? *NM* Cannoli - 17/10/2009 04:26:13 PM 247 Views
I'm not sure why I bother with you Floffe - 17/10/2009 04:34:36 PM 574 Views
the government should just get their fingers out of the marriage business imlad - 16/10/2009 05:14:02 PM 595 Views

A judge is not a private citizen beetnemesis - 16/10/2009 05:43:44 PM 578 Views
Is it really discrimination? He is not singling out any race, which is what discrimination means... Cannoli - 17/10/2009 04:37:11 PM 657 Views
Are you really saying that individuals cannot be discriminated against, only groups? *NM* Floffe - 17/10/2009 04:46:33 PM 235 Views
Um, it seems to me he's discriminating against mixed-race children. *NM* Craig - 18/10/2009 03:44:34 AM 235 Views
He's singling out mixed-race couples beetnemesis - 19/10/2009 04:59:17 AM 746 Views
Good call on the minors Floffe - 19/10/2009 08:29:44 AM 694 Views
Yeah, that's a good analogy beetnemesis - 19/10/2009 03:55:23 PM 564 Views

Psh, everyone knows that mixed-race babies are the cutest, anyway beetnemesis - 16/10/2009 05:51:03 PM 570 Views
Another argument in support of the judge - cute babies are jerks. Ugly babies are much friendlier Cannoli - 17/10/2009 04:25:20 PM 587 Views
