Very true. No one would say that the Gullah of South Carolina and Georgia are a separate race, just because they have been able to maintain their culture. Being Creole is not about being black or non-black, because the majority proudly trace their ancestry to Africa as well as France. Creole is a culture, it is a community, and it is what remains of a history and identity ALL of Louisiana once shared. The unfortunate thing is that there aren’t more communities in (black)America recording and preserving their heritage.
