"Colorblind" music and Cajun coolness

The Lafayette Advertiser has some interesting articles this week. Yesterday was Acadian day and an article titled "Is Cajun Still Cool" generated beaucoup remarks. It seems the French are terrible but the Acadians are cool. The articles published today made me wonder why the labels Cajun and Creole are not colorblind. Both articles made me ask questions:

If I find one African ancestor will I then be a Creole?

What if I had majority African and Acadian ancestry? Would I be a Cajun or Creole?

Am I a Cajun that is unable to speak French or an American that is learning French?

I can't find any African ancestors but I do have some Acadian. Does this allow me into the Cajun identity club?

Here are the articles:

And here is a great quote from the 1980s:

Mamou Acadian Press (Mamou, LA)

Revon Reed

“The original Franco-Americans that settled this neck of the prairie did not consider themselves Cajuns or Acadians at all, but rather they referred to themselves and their ancestors as Creole-French. As late as 1946, I recall my father saying ‘What’s this with Cajuns? We’re not Cajuns. We’re Creoles. As far back as I know we referred to ourselves as Creoles from France, not Canada.’” But almost overnight everyone started referring to themselves as Cadiens which they pronounced Cadjins (Cajun apparently became the English spelling.) These people were right. Most of the early St. Landry homesteaders were French descendants. Not Acadians. Old OpelousasFrance…” journals of the time bear this out. Fontenots, Fuseliers, Guillorys, and Soileaus all came from France."
