The Y-chromosome is just an indicator. It's 1% of a man's DNA. It doesn't impact phenotype. Anyway, in situations like this, male relatives are tested.

The genes aren't special it is just that they remained in a closed community. See my comment above about the quarter black woman who has no black DNA. you are an idiot, they probably mean it doesnt show black Y or X which is 1% of dna and doesnt even effect phenotype if you have a ggggggg paternal grandfather who was Black and GGGGGGG maternal chinese grandmother and the rest of your ancestors where white u would test 50% Black Y and MTDNA 50% Asian but in reality you would be much less than 1/16 black No, you're the idiot. Did you even bother to read the entire thread or did you just not understand? BTW, I already explained about the autosomal DNA. You were being redundant. And Droop was using a woman as an example who has a black grandparent, not a woman who simply has African mtDNA.

Cajun or Jewish? Sandra DeVlin July 29, 2004 Thursday Final Edition “I had been led to believe I was a Cajun girl and that we had to maintain our French … and not mix with the English,” says the Bathurst, N.B. native who is currently living in Quebec. Something doesn't sound right at all with what this person is saying. Did anyone else catch it?Acadia (in French, Acadie) was the name given by the French to a territory including today's Canadian Maritime provinces and part of modern-day New England stretching as far south as today's Philadelphia. Later, the territory was divided into the British colonies which were to become American states and Canadian provinces.
On 23 June that year, the French residents of Acadia were given one year to declare allegiance to Britain or leave Nova Scotia.
French settlers who called the area Acadia were exiled to Louisiana by the British in the 1750s and their descendants are know as Cajuns .
Many expelled Acadians eventually settled in Louisiana , which was then still under French rule. Acadians formed the nucleus of the Cajun (A Louisianian descended from Acadian immigrants from Nova Scotia (`Cajun' comes from `Acadian')) population. The name Cajun is derived from Acadia: the word for Acadian in French is acadien, which, said quickly, sounds like Cajun. After the end of the war, Britain allowed some Acadians to return to Acadia but these were a small minoritywww.terrebonneparish.com/acadian-cajun/colorig.htmI can tell you with experience growing up here in eastern Canada, that the French Canadians and Acadians would NEVER EVER EVER call themselves CAJUNS. They are always French Canadian, either Quebecois or Acadiens. NEVER cajuns. Cajuns are in louisiana. I simply cannot find any explanation or reason how or why this author could make such a amistake or even interchange such terms!!!! I cannot take this article seriously AT ALL. Thread on french canadians: dodona.proboards35.com/index.cgi?board=genetics&action=display&thread=1118373903Overview of Quebec: www2.marianopolis.edu/quebechistory/encyclopedia/QuebecProvinceof.htmHow others view Quebec: www2.marianopolis.edu/quebechistory/docs/views/index.htmEthnicity of Quebec: Canadian 68.7%, French 29.6%, Irish 4.1%, Italian 3.5%, English 3.1%, Scottish 2.2%, 1.8%, Quebecer 1.3%, German 1.2%, Jew 1.1%, Haitian 1.0% (2001) Note: The 2001 Census offered options for ethnic origins have been highly questionned.

North American Indians represented 69.3% of this population. Ontario had the largest North American Indian population, Alberta the largest Metis population and the Northwest Territories had the largest Inuit population. Most of the Aboriginal population lived west of Quebec. Only 14% of Canada’s Aboriginal population lived in Atlantic Canada and Quebec. The provinces with the largest numbers of Aboriginals were Ontario, British Columbia and Manitoba.

You're right Mimidamoon. Cajuns and French Canadians are separate populations.
There is a connection though. I remember learning that the Lousiana's French was populated not by people directly from France, but by people from French Canada. Therefore, they are related.

That is what I mentioned in the post above. Cajuns from louisiana are exiled acadians, in actuality. But Acadiens in the present day don't call themselves cajuns. The relation in the present day genetically between cajuns and acadians is different, since, in louisiana they are mixed with african americans/ haitians extensively and now speak creole, (not french) which is a mixture of haitian based lexically on french. @ Anodyne, yes Nova Scotia before the british took over, was called "L'Acadie", in la nouvelle France.

Yigal thats not true some Louisiana Creoles can be White as well not all of them look mixed race in phenotype.Back on RAS this poster named Jazel who is obsessed with Louisiana Creoles would always post a shitload of pics of them and some of them would have easily been classified as Caucasoids by Coon based on their phenotype.

I didn't say that most of them are White just that some of them based on their phenotype would blend in more at a country music concert than they would at a gangsta rap concert.
