   Comments: I am appauled at the Times article. Either the reporter/writer is incompetent (for not doing his research) or he's just plain stupid. I am Creole, both my parents are Creole from Louisiana, as were there ancestors. We have traced my mother's family tree (Thibodeaux) from 16th century France, right down to Opelousas, Louisiana. The Creole "race" is alive and well, and living in various parts of this country. I married a Creole man , whose parents were also Creole's from Louisiana, thus, my children are 100% Creole. Now, the buck may stop there, since we now live in Maryland, but in culture and spirit, we are thriving and passing on the "heritage". I have taught my daughter (now 15 years old) to cook, as my mother and Grandmother taught me. My kids' favorite foods are Creole gumbo (NOT Cajun), boudain, crawfish etouffe and smothered okra in brown gravy with lots of rice. I can go on, and on about this. We still listen to Creole music (Zydeco) and our elders still speak the Creole French language. It is horrible, what has occurred from Hurricane Katrina, but despite all that, the Creole Culture and Heritage will NEVER die, no matter where in this country we choose to live or migrate, to.

   Comments: To be Le Creole embodies a world of mystery, exotic beauty, rich culture and exquisite taste. To understand this alchemy, one has to experience it firsthand. One of the greatest challenges in being le Creole, is combating the jealous nature of those who desire to be more like us.

    Comments: I completely agree with your commentary above. I have spent my whole life explaining what exactly it means to be Creole. People tend to be uncomfortable when you do not fit into a specific racial/cultural category. My parents are both from New Orleans, along with all of my aunts/uncles. My siblings and cousins from my generation call ourselves "California Creoles". Although we are all California natives, our Creole culture and heritage is very alive and experienced. Thank you for being a voice for us.

    Comments: To Whom it may Concern. I would like to add if I may; not only is this piece of legislation very important to pass, but it is also very important that our Culture is Studied, placed in the history books, with all of the CORRECT INFORMATION, concerning all of our HISTORY. Let me also add that any and all, INCORRECT INFORMATION that had Previously BEEN MISCONSCREWED, ALTERED, MALICIOUSLY ENTERED, WITH MALICE OF AFORETHOUGHT, WITH THE INTENTION to DEPRIVE, MISREPRESENT MY CULTURE, MY HERITAGE, MY RACE, MY ETHNIC MAKE-UP( CREOLE), be Removed from any and all PRINT. Which includes, but is not Limited to History books, Newspapers, Flyers, written and as other wise Misrepresents the CREOLE RACE. in addition to thee above mentioned; The CREOLE MEN AND WOMEN not only be acknowledged, but SPECIAL PLAUDIS be given to all CREOLE MEN AND WOMEN that fought in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, and every Conflict fought. In addition to the above Mention, there be a Special Board put in Place, in the State of Louisana made up of CREOLE'S, and the Scope of this Boards Purpose is to Educate, Train, Evaluate, and most Importanly to INVESTIGATE Crimes made against the Creole People. Its Heritage, Culture, Social make up, and last but not least its FINANCIAL STATUS in todays Society Standards Compared to Other Races, such as the JEWS, the Japanese, the Philipinos, and all other Races that have Received Spicial Plaudis and Financial Reporations, for Services Rendered. It is also Important to mention that the Laws be Changed, concering (Hate Crimes) and that it is A High Grade FELONLY to Discriminate, withhold, on the basis of Ethnic background, as it is expressly Written and Stateed in our United States Constitution.

    Comments: I was born a Creole and will die a Creole. Both my parents are Creole and we are able to trace our ancestry back to the 1600's in France, Spain, Africa and the Native American Indians of Lousiana. To make it short and sweet .. YES, Creole's do exist!! I will address Mr. Alan Richman's comments in a separate email. I would hope that he is intelligent enough to realize that he made a mistake and couragous enough to make a public apology.

    Comments: I was born in Iowa City, Iowa in 1949, and my birth certificate proudly displays my ethnicity as "Creole". Although, I am one of probaby "few" who has the truth on an original and UNCHANGED birth certificate, I know that it occurred while my mother and father were attending College and I was born in the University Hospital...where the staff had the intelligence not to question my parents or try to tell them there is no such race as "Creole". But four years later in the the State of Louisiana, the hospital would not let them use "Creole" for my sister's birth certificate. Both of my parents were native Louisiananians!
