thankyou. not all cajun food is hot and spicey. come down to NOLA and sample the greatest variety of food in the world. We have very few chain restaurants, most are locally owned and have been here for years. Antoines, Gallatoires, Court of two sisters, et al.

welcome to DP

Bobcats I have come to like, they help keep the rabbits out of my yard.
BRING the cajun spices, I miss serious New Orleans cooking out here in Tex-ass
(I do get a delicious fresh King cake..actually about 4 of them, each February though!)
Half-breed is an awful term to use going forward. What's past is past.

I don't get why it's okay for mixed-race individuals to identify themselves that way, but not okay for anybody else. Tiger Woods comes out and calls himself Canabalasian or some crap and that's fine...but somebody else makes a comment and it's racist?

Get serious! It's de-humanizing and its racist. And apparently most people recognize it as such. I guess it must be that southern thing.

I thought you said you intended to keep on using it because it upset us 'libtards' so much. Change your mind?

the irony is that YOU claim they are just words and have no power, and yet you use them becuase you KNOW they indeed have power.

if you didn't, you wouldn't use them.

Woah now.. Don't put that evil on me. I don't get "half-breed"... It's much easier just to call them mixed

its obvious that you are very sensitive to words, why is that? did you never hear the "sticks and stones............." rhyme as a kid?
