About 12 percent of Louisiana residents who identify themselves as white have at least 1 percent African ancestry, or one African ancestor within the last 11 generations, according to a new report
Creole people are noted for their racial blackness
Who the French settled LA, not enough French women came to the land, so white men had Quadroon balls where black men met and married black women.

I don't know why some of you are penning the practices of miscegenation primarily on the French. I would bet the majority of those who are confused are actually the Melungeons of North Louisiana. I think most mixed "creoles" have a very good idea concerning their black ancestry.

Putting aside your misuse of "Creole", your reading skills also are lacking, the report claims people that people who identify as WHITE have some Negro in them if you go back 11 generations the 16th century before LA was settled, or there was some black in one of several thousand ancestors in the direct lines, not that Mulattoes that call themselves Creoles and have some Negro in them.
