Pretty sure I have read what OP is saying. I predict he will be somewhat vindicated before this thread dies. Eta not mixed people, but French and/or Spanish.

Yep, he's right. People in this thread giving the OP a hard time or whatever just aren't educated on the topic.

I wouldn't be surprised if the definition changed gradually as people used the term somewhat euphemistically for folks of mixed race lineage, as New Orleans and south Louisiana have always generally been more progressive than the rest of the south in treatment of blacks and other minorities.
