I don't hear this very often anymore. It was used quite a bit when I was growing up. Anybody know the origin of this reference to South Louisiana people?

Boogalee (perhaps from AmFr (Cajun) 'bougre' ('fellow'), otherwise obscure). A slang term, often deragatory, for a resident of coastal Louisiana of mixed European, Amerindian and perhaps some African heritage. The group is noted for insularity and is distinct from the more famous and numerous Cajuns, Creoles and Islenos. Their nearly-lost pigdin language has elements of Chitimatchi, Portugese and French, among others. The term 'calico' is often applied.
