WHAT’S POPPIN NOLA on Instagram: "Respectfully, the same way there are white Cajuns that dropped identity of Creole, there’re a lot of Black people in the New Orleans area that also have a hard time leaning into their Creole heritage as well.

White Creoles Erased Their Black Roots Louisiana’s Creole identity was multiracial from the beginning. French settlers, Africans, Native Americans, and Caribbean refugees built it together.
