I dunno Chief; you gotta give Doug Kershaw ("The Ragin' Cajun") his due. There ain't but one degree of separation 'twixt Texicuns and Cajuns.Quote:

Just thought I'd throw this out there for the sake of my blood.
The main difference between Cajun and Texan, is that Texan may be state of mind, but Cajun is an Ethnic category, covering around 500,000 people primarily in Louisiana and east Texas.
wiki on cajuns
I'd wager there are more than 500,000. SE Texas has a very high prescene of cajuns. Not to mention it says 5 million at the top of that thing.Quote:

Georgia - 5 North Carolina - 7 Tennessee - 30
Illinois - 1 New Hampshire - 1 Texas - 11

Massachusetts - 4 Ohio - 4 Unknown - 15
The Europeans
Denmark - 1 Germany - 2 Scotland - 4
England - 12 Ireland - 9 Wales - 1 Spain-2
France-3
Those were the defenders at the Alamo. They were born thousands of miles apart but they all fell within a football field of eachother. Thats what makes Texas so powerful, Its more than a state. It's an idea. People from all over the world know what a Texan is. No other state can say that.
Traveled around the world much, eh?Quote:

States such as New York or California are far more recognized and known. And why not? Media is the U.S.'s largest export.
Well that's rather disheartening.Quote:

Yoyoma's pretty much right. I don't think many people would now what the difference between a state or a city, they do pretty much think of the city though... and until i learnt differently i thought new york was the capital (i was quite young) but i now quite a few others who also got confused...
Texas is probably third most famous state (over here at least) fairly close to california... Bush will have boosted your recognition somewhat though...
Gee, I wish I had said that... ~;)Quote:
