Ummm... yes he is... He was on Twitter liking all kinds of racist and homophobic comments.
Umm... do you know him? No. Unless you're psychic & can read his mind... he's not a homophobe.
No they don't. Code Noir proves differently. Cajun's helped to enslave and rape Africans all over the Bayou. Only difference is Cajuns were more eager to have sex with Africans than the British... and gave their mixed race off springs more privileges than those Africans.
You're confusing the Colonial French, the creoles from Saint-Domingue & Cajuns. Le Code Noir was promulgated 3 decades before Cajuns were deported to Louisiana & forcibly settled in the bayou. There were no British here. The British sent us here in 1755 from Nova Scotia because we were French & Louisiana was a French colony - a colony until 1803 - hence, no Britons here.
Cajuns didn't follow le Code Noir, we were (are) located in a remote area without government (colonial, then federal) influence. We married Natives and runaway slaves. We didn't hold slaves in the bayou as there's only subsistance living here. Rice plantations were owned by American, Colonial French & Creole landowners.
Historians in Louisiana have a habit of downplaying the role Cajuns had in slavery. Seeking to separate them from the Spanish and the British. As a means to teach that while they practiced slavery and up held it... they weren't harsh slave owners. Which is a lie.
There's nothing specific to Louisiana about that. My family is all Cajun, no one ever owned slaves, they didnt fight in the civil war until the Battle of Thibodaux when the Cajuns sided with the Union & the 1st Cajuns joined the war - supporting the Union.
My 8x-great-grandmother was a runaway slave. When slaves escaped into the bayou, they weren't turned over to slave hunters, rather they usually married into Cajun families. It wasn't a factor of, as you say being:
more eager to have sex with Africans than the British
My great-great-grandmother is full creole, my great-great-grandfather is white. Even though miscegenation was illegal in Louisiana as were all other southern states, they were still able to marry - the parish ignored their races listed on their birth records.
It's really something being lectured to about your own people by an outsider who has no insight into our culture, our history, our mentality, etc... We live in our own bubble, my grandparents are the 1st generation to be bilingual; when we couldnt speak English until the 1950s, do you think we were engaged with state, regional, federal or American societal norms?
Probably half my ancestry is "non-white". According to American racial constructs that would make me somehow "mixed". In the Cajun construct, it just makes me a fuckin Cajun.
Maybe you should learn a bit more about us before you start pontificating again.
As most Cajuns are Trump supporters.
Are you going to start lecturing me now about what I supposedly believe... I'm as Cajun as it gets & I dont support him
(not that I have anything to prove, or as if its any of your business). Painting with such broad strokes just makes you seem like a couillon.

Have you ever even been here (Acadiana) before? Do you even know any Cajuns? What qualifications do you have to offer any insight on us? - As far as I can tell: T'n'as rien - Ya aint got anything.
