 BK>>  Aren't Cajuns typically part black?

 BA> 'Cajun' is a corruption of 'Acadian.'  These are the French
 BA> people the Brits forcibly relocated from Acadia to what is
 BA> now Louisiana, and what then was a French possession.

 I was aware of that. It was written up in the local paper years
 ago.

 BA> Obviously intermarriage has resulted in some Cajuns that
 BA> are part or mostly black - but the word refers to the
 BA> French heritage, not the African.

 I was also aware of the intermarriage. That's what I was
 referring to.
