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 818 Views
What? He seems like a pretty rational guy. Craig - 16/10/2009 04:08:36 AM 386 Views
Yeah, he DOES have black friends! He even treats them like everyone else! Lol. everynametaken - 16/10/2009 05:15:13 AM 362 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 188 Views
Hell, I have friends who won't let me do that. *NM* Craig - 16/10/2009 06:46:37 PM 161 Views
To get technical, he doesn't say he lets them... just that they do. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 16/10/2009 07:11:29 PM 194 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 196 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 442 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 376 Views
I was thinking the same thing. everynametaken - 16/10/2009 06:41:07 AM 356 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 145 Views
There really are not that many Cajuns Loiusiana random thoughts - 16/10/2009 06:12:07 PM 320 Views
There are a fair amount. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/10/2009 07:25:21 AM 126 Views

Depends on where you are. Ghavrel - 17/10/2009 07:30:54 AM 316 Views
That's just absurd. *NM* Sophy - 16/10/2009 06:46:39 AM 141 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 560 Views
Wild guess: Civil rights act? Floffe - 16/10/2009 03:04:58 PM 373 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 345 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 341 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 184 Views
This. beetnemesis - 16/10/2009 05:46:10 PM 320 Views
So the officials who obeyed the laws supporting race discrimination were doing good? *NM* Cannoli - 17/10/2009 04:26:13 PM 136 Views
I'm not sure why I bother with you Floffe - 17/10/2009 04:34:36 PM 337 Views
the government should just get their fingers out of the marriage business imlad - 16/10/2009 05:14:02 PM 356 Views

seems like a very liberal stance to me random thoughts - 27/10/2009 04:55:14 PM 285 Views
A judge is not a private citizen beetnemesis - 16/10/2009 05:43:44 PM 345 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 409 Views
Are you really saying that individuals cannot be discriminated against, only groups? *NM* Floffe - 17/10/2009 04:46:33 PM 129 Views
Um, it seems to me he's discriminating against mixed-race children. *NM* Craig - 18/10/2009 03:44:34 AM 135 Views
He's singling out mixed-race couples beetnemesis - 19/10/2009 04:59:17 AM 500 Views
Good call on the minors Floffe - 19/10/2009 08:29:44 AM 453 Views
Yeah, that's a good analogy beetnemesis - 19/10/2009 03:55:23 PM 311 Views

Psh, everyone knows that mixed-race babies are the cutest, anyway beetnemesis - 16/10/2009 05:51:03 PM 329 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 336 Views
