A "no roux" gumbo is about as legit as a "no tomato" marinara sauce.

According to whom?
I can introduce you to a slew of actual Cajuns--people who still speak French, whose ancestry is directly traceable to the displaced Acadian settlers of LA, who still live in the same general area colonized by their Acadian immigrant ancestors--who will agree that a gumbo doesn't technically need a roux.
The popular concepts regarding LA food aren't necessarily the same thing as the lived, traditional practices of its people.
