True, but I was always surprised with names that sounded French but were actually Spanish like Viator. Barras for example.....or Spanish and Germans who got Frenchified over the years ......or Domangue...who I knew and the grandmother spoke French.

Don't hurt yourself with those gymnastics, my guy.

Ortego (from Ortega), Thomassino (same - just flipped an "a" to an "o"), Quebedeaux, Zatarain, Romero, Perez - there are about a million of them. the Spanish period was 40 years, baws.

You dimwits are always so binary. Everything is either Utopia or Apocalypse. Nobody takes anything you retards say seriously anymore. We don't 'hate' them. We just don't think we want them as neighbors. It's our country, we can do that. Now had they come here the legal way and naturalized, we wouldn't care. But that's not what happened.

Cajuns were economically held back by not speaking English. So, the move to drop French as your primary language was very important for success. The Cajuns of my grandparents' era were limited to manual labor, farm work or fishing/shrimping work. My grandfather was a meter reader.
The Cajuns of my parent's era were banned from speaking French in school and they were more successful. This was especially important when the oil boom hit south La. and offshore work boomed.
My generation rejected learning the French language since it had no purpose. However, we did pass on the culture of 'live and let live'. IE, I'm not gonna tell you what to do...but don't tell me what to do.

The Acadians migrated to French Louisiana mid 18th Century.
Under the Spanish governor, Galvez.
Little known facts about the Louisiana colony:
More Spanish colonists settled here than French.
Galvez kicked the British out West Florida during the American Revolution.
The architecture in the "French Quarter" is mostly Spanish.
And they don't call one of the oldest neighborhoods in Baton Rouge "Spanish Town" for nothing.
The Acadians didn't actually come directly from Acadia to Louisiana. Those who weren't resettled by the British or escaped into the interior of what-is-now Maine moved back to France; they came to Louisiana from France and other French colonies during the Spanish Colonial Period.

Oh, then you'll be fine against the Islamists wanting to establish Sharia law locally, be it actually systematically or heavy societal pressure where the local authorities just look the other way.

Yeah, I mentioned here that New Iberia was founded by the Spanish but mixed with the larger number of French newcomers. There is a marker in N.I. that lists the founders and they are all Spanish. The French were expelled from Canada by the British. Some just travelled south to the American NE, a lot returned to France and immediately remembered how shitty it was and those Cajuns shipped out to the Gulf and landed in Houma. They gradually migrated west along the coastline to New Iberia and Lafayette.
