What's crazy is in my area, most people are Cajun, the Cajuns faced so much discrimination, deportation and even an attempted genocide, and successful assimilation, Cajun French is essentially a dead language. Their Great and great great grandparents were facing discrimination for being accepting of people of color and for not speaking English. Yet due to lack of education of their own history most Cajuns don't realize they're perpetuating the very injustices their ancestors went through, hell, there's a huge population of cajuns that are POC and don't even realize it!
