Previously, the bar Ethnic groups in Louisiana listed the groups; African Americans, Creoles, Cajuns, Islenos, and Redbones as distinct categories. Then someone came along and put Cajuns and Islenos together within parentheses, as if they were within their own joint category. This in incorrect. Cajuns and Islenos are two different ethnic, cultural, and linguistic groups that came from different countries, and have different histories. They share no common background. I am not trying to eliminate either one, but want to return to the earlier setup where they were not put together. Did whoever put them in parentheses give a valid reason for doing so? 174.77.220.178 (talk) 17:29, 1 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

Creoles of Louisiana are not a ethnic group, but a set of ethnic groups. If do you read the introduction of article of the Creoles of Louisiana, you will verify that this article indicate (of referenced way) that the Creoles of Louisiana are all those people who are descendant de French and Spanish (included Isleños) settlers. Many people believe that "Cajun" is synonym of "Creoles of Louisiana" and they are no.--Isinbill (talk) 01:01, 2 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
