quote:

All across Acadiana, you can see the flag flying high, but UL Political Science professor Rick Swanson says the Acadiana flag should be more inclusive.

"I'm not replacing the Cajun flag. I want to replace the Acadiana flag, and that's the problem. The Louisiana legislature in 1974 created this confusion by taking the ethnic flag of the Cajuns and saying it will also be for the region of Acadiana," Swanson explained.

He wants it to represent not only the region's French and Spanish history but also its West African heritage


quote:

They were brought here primarily as enslaved people and by 1860 a majority of Lafayette Parish was of African descent," he said.

The flag he proposed includes those heritages while also highlighting the area's Catholic roots.

This will surely open the floodgates.

Next, all the homos, dykes, and trannies will want to get their dick-skinners on that flag.

Sounds like it's time for a tuition price decrease. If this is what he spends his time on....rather than shite that matters....quality has gone down of education and the price for that should match.

Then again...anyone that has him as their professor is just pissing money away on a bs degree anyways....carry on

Judging by the way he dresses, he's certainly blended in with his Laffy brethren.

The top version looks pretty good. I know there was also a huge Irish influx to the New Orleans area that later settled in the Acadiana area. Although maybe not quite as significant as these others?

He might want to consult a history professor on how many Cajuns could even afford to own a slave.
