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
Even got removed by a mod lol
I let them know! Sure reads like a spicy comment initially. They can see what they think.
I could tell it isn't a slur because lemmy.ml didn't remove it from my view, lol.
Changed to they “delete their comment”, interesting!
