I'm Cajun and I know exactly where the Cajuns came from and I know all about the Creoles. I absolutely love the Cajun and Creole cultures. I love our language and our food. We are a special group of people. We're kin but we're not the same and are different. Thanks for educating those out there. Maybe they can visit us in Louisiana and experience our unique culture and delicious food. Good luck. 2D

I guess because creoles were in Louisiana as were the cajuns and people just assumed they were interchangeable.

well you seem to know the difference.
except that there are other creoles besides african french.
such as there is singaporean english creole. and carrabean creoles.
there is also a dispute that old and middle english evolved so quickly and changed to rapidly that modern english is in fact a creole of anglo saxon [or old english]
