Today, common understanding holds that Cajuns are white and Creoles are Black or mixed race; Creoles are from New Orleans, while Cajuns populate the rural parts of South Louisiana. In fact, the two cultures are far more related—historically, geographically, and genealogically—than most people realize.
What race is Cajun?
Most Cajuns are of French descent. The Cajuns make up a significant portion of south Louisiana’s population and have had an enormous impact on the state’s culture.
What are Creoles mixed with?
A typical creole person from the Caribbean has French, Spanish, Portuguese, British, and/or Dutch ancestry, mixed with sub-Saharan African, and sometimes mixed with Native Indigenous people of the Americas.
