In my experience about 90% of the people I meet who claim to be Cajun are just random south Louisiana people who have no more Cajun blood than your average east coast WASP. It’s like every short person in Louisiana with a hint of a tan thinks they should claim Cajun ancestry even though that doesn’t even make sense
<<<<<<<<<<<< not Cajun btw

Black, not cajun.

A lot of people who claim to or think they are Cajun are of Portuguese, German, Hispanic, Sicilian, Arab, or even Filipino origin. Falgout is a common name in S. La. It is a French name, but it's not Cajun, it's Norman French by way of England.

I’ve got a cousin that is genetically about 1/8 Cajun, had almost no Cajun influence in her life, born and raised in MS and has lived in MO for at least 10 years. She post all kinds of stuff about her Cajun heritage on Facebook and i just shake my head.

I grew up in Vermilion parish and live in Lafayette, I don’t know anyone who walks around bragging about being “Cajun”, but I would assume that most of my friends have some Cajun ancestry. My last name is French, but not Cajun, my mom’s maiden name is most definitely Cajun though.

What is the definition of Cajun? I know I have the Acadian migration in my background. Need to research it some.

Are people identifying as Cajun now?
Is there like a National Association of American Cajun People for people like Rachel Dolezel that identify as Cajun?

Cajun is literally a mispronunciation of Acadian.

My grandmother didn't speak English until 2nd grade and took a pirogue to school until 5th grade. Her and my grandfather trace back to the orginal cajuns that came from Canada. I say I qualify.

Get back in the kitchen woman. Men meet other people when we travel and what not.
Housewives like you aren’t privy to our lives outside of the house.

I only recently found out I have acadians in my lineage. I've known for a long time I can trace my lineage to a French immigrant in Nola 1750s who may have been a river boat captain.

I'm a Boudreaux from Thibodaux.
