Why isn’t there any sense of Cajun nationalism?
I mean, you would think that there would at least be some fringe group of Cajuns or something, but there isn’t.
I mean, Cajuns make up about 10-15% of the population of Louisiana, which, granted, isn’t much. But it’s nothing to scoff at. I mean, they’re a different ethnic group, they have a different language, culture, and quite frankly, they’ve been there longer than any American. And yeah, they may not make up an enormous amount of the population, but that doesn’t stop the French Canadians in Quebec.
So…..why is there no Cajun nationalism? Different culture, language, traditions, cuisine, etc..why no sepratist sentiment?
Because, sad to say, the French-speaking peoples of Louisiana, the Cajuns, Creole Whites and Creoles of Colour, have been forced to disregard their language and culture for the last 100 years. The English-dominated educational system made them feel shame for being French, and because of that they were more or less treated like immigrants and outsiders in a region where they have been living for over 400 years.
And while the Cajuns weren’t the first to reach the New World, they and the Creoles have inhabited the region for the last 300 years. New Orleans was French for two centuries before it became American, they never came to the United States, the United States came to them and trampled them underfoot with the imposition of a language and culture that was foreign to them while simultaneously degrading their own traditions. Sh*t, if I was a Cajun I would be mad as HELL and be PROUD to retain my language and culture today.
