You know at one time, I did look up Creole in the dictionary, not being sure that I knew what it really meant. As I recall it refers to a blending of races and languages. I was surprised to find out it did not start and end with french , but spanish and Portugese as well. In fact it is used in many other places besides New Orleans to refer to other blendings of language, race and culture.
On the other hand, the reason there is a dictionary that explains the "derivation" and "etymology" of words is precisely because they do change. A word means something to one generation and the opposite to the next. Ask your kids what "bad" or "ill" means. So in a North American context as well as popular cooking, I think Creole has been over time affixed to the New Orleans culture. When our list mate, said he came from land of cajuns and appreciated things "Creole", I think he communicated precisely the context he meant to to the majority of readers on this list. I feel compelled to clarify that the first toehold for Acadian immigration was Canada. The french spoken in Canada, the official language of the province of Quebec, also had it's origins with Acadian immigrants from France.As our listmate mentioned Labradore now part of the province of Newfoundland and Labradore was their first stop in the new world, I would have included Quebec but maybe that is just because I love Montreal. .To the current day their language has more tones and inflections in common with Louisianna french than the "Parisian" french they try to teach you in school. So.the Quebecoise also have a claim to the word "cajun".
While I am here, as Wildfleurs' owner, I have something else to say. For a white person traveilling in white circles to contract with a white mate, that is just statistical probability. For a white man travelling in white circles to seek out a particular minority race, that is a statistical anamoly. For a black woman ,finding herself pursued by a white man who wants her based not on who she is as an individual, but on all the fanciful connotations that her race brings up in that mans head, to find that process "creepy": well that is just human nature. And while it might be to that person a fetish like foot fetishism, it is not the same. Two foot fetishists can get together, play, and then put on their shoes and walk back into the mainstream culture, to pick up their fetish play another day. To be defined based on race, in this north american culture, that is the kind of thing revolutions are fought over.
As a kinkster in the environs of several New England urban centers with majority Black populations I cast my net upon the water and came back with a young woman who suited me pretty well. In the place I come from my white skin and blue eyes were taken for granted, but make me a minority on these streets. Her chocolate color is much more mainstream. So we pose a problem of grey scale for every photograph we are in. Unless we are very careful if my face is not overexposed, hers will be underexposed. But that is a small cross to bear. In the ways a dominant man relates to a submissive woman we get on like gangbusters and boys and girls the importance of that can not be overemphasized.
On the topic of what makes a human being, aspirations and experience, we have much in common. In fact with regard to the trappings and accounting of whatever makes a yuppie; ie coveted degrees framed on a wall, pictures of self with prominent politicians, success in the marketplace, she ranks higher than me. All the interactions pass-or-fail that make a relationship, all had to mesh. And one of the deciding factors is TTWD, for me I needed not only a fellow kinkster, but a kinky, female, submissive-- a minority within a minority within a minority to compliment my dominant bent. For a flatout kinkster in this litigous society, finding your own compliment in the scene, who appreciates you for who you are, is not merely pursuing your muse. It can keep you out of penitentiary. So I wouldn't call it a far stretched or unlikely pairing. In the context of a thousand failed relationships between men and women, and the odds against finding one that works.I call it extreme good fortune.
