    Isn’t “Coonass” what Cajun’s call themselves though? Or am I missing something?

      Huh, TIL. I honestly expected it to be related to a really old racist term and not to French

      Coonass, or Coon-ass, is a term for a person of Cajun ethnicity. Some view it as derogatory, however many Cajuns embrace the name. The term is believed to originate from the French word conasse, meaning a fool.

      No you’re not missing anything, I think people are missing that detail and down voted out of ignorance
