Question:

To those that hate immigrants that move to USA and not assimilate and don’t speak English in front of you.

What is your opinion on the push to save the French language in Acadian and efforts to save the Cajun culture?

What's my opinion on the efforts to save a distinctly American subculture?

I must be completely unaware of the overflow of Cajun's committing crimes, contributing nothing while sucking our welfare system dry, importing drugs by the boatload, and having volumes of children here.

Where has this caused issues like Hispanic, Asian, South American and Indian immigration has? Be specific.

These people you speak of have lineage from Western Europe that are Christians and helped create this nation state correct?

It’s still a European culture that’s distinctly American.

Even so, Cajuns went through a painful assimilation process. Kids were punished at school for not speaking English, for example. Many Acadians weren’t treated kindly.

A. I don't know any Acadians/Cajuns who do not speak English.
B. I don't know any Acadians/Cajuns who consider themselves more French than American (although there may be some, I just have never encountered any).
C. We're the host culture, the immigrating culture assimilates to us not vice versa. To that point, Acadian/Cajun culture was here the US earned its freedom.

I dont give a shite about assimilation as long as I dont have to be forced to respect all cultures.

If people split off and live as they want, without involving me, I am fine. I plan on doing the same.

The Acadians migrated to French Louisiana mid 18th Century. The US bought French Louisiana in 1803. Even though the Acadians were here first, they've assimilated well. I think they should maintain their culture and language .

We only hate the ones Biden ushered in that are killing our welfare system, raping, killing and ripping off Americans.

Cajuns are proud people who wouldn't be caught dead accepting SNAP.

We all used to speak German first in Fredericksburg Texas.

The city folk started moving in and fricked things up. Damn shame.

Hate?

Let's punish foreigners for not assimilating for a couple centuries and then we can talk about bringing back parts of their cutlture.

Oh, you may want to revise that statement about Cajun and foodstamps......like RIGHT now.

Just to maintain your sense of credibility.

Under the Spanish governor, Galvez.

Little known facts about the Louisiana colony:
More Spanish colonists settled here than French.
Galvez kicked the British out West Florida during the American Revolution.
The architecture in the "French Quarter" is mostly Spanish.
And they don't call one of the oldest neighborhoods in Baton Rouge "Spanish Town" for nothing.
