cajuns, yeah. there is apparently some debate as to whether or not cajuns find the term to be offensive but i've never met one of the aggrieved in person. when i first started dating the woman who is now my wife (who is not from louisiana and not hip to the lingo etc) i inadvertently horrified her by referring to someone (of whose race she was not aware) as a "coonass motherfucker."

otm. i'm leaning towards not overtly racist, but a really stupid choice. i'm slated to record and put a tape release for him. i really love his music, and i like him a lot, but i don't feel very comfortable doing it because of the name.
there was a VERY recent and VERY public incident with a local band full of actual racist rednecks called Dead Injun (!), who were publicly called out on their name/banned from a couple venues (they were always banned from mine), resulting in a ton of social fallout for me and a couple other people, therefore i'm really loathe to even start this conversation with him. :/

Cricket Australia seem to think all Indians look the same and a bunch of white people on twitter defend it and say political correctness has gone mad and how its only whites complaining and because they are white they cant be offended. The usual..

McGraw was 1 when when the Civil Rights Act was signed, and the closest "sundown town" to his home in Start, Louisiana was Pollock, which was like 90 minutes away. It would not exactly shock me if he didn't know what this meant, but I guess someone could have spoken up.
― lisa 龜 (Whiney G. Weingarten), Saturday, 18 January 2014 17:32 (ten years ago) link
SAlso people will probably always say sundown to mean nighttime/twilight. The word is definitely not exclusive to racism afficianados.
― how's life, Saturday, 18 January 2014 17:45 (ten years ago) link
I speak English and am aware of the literal definition of "sundown" — It just frustrates (but doesn't surprise) me that people in the country music industry would have such a poor understanding of the history whose signifiers they trade in. I agree w/Whiney: It would not exactly shock me if he didn't know what this meant, but I guess someone could have spoken up.
