In my experience seniors care about effectively nothing.

Ugh, my 91-year-old grandfather is so racist. He turns on Fox News and gripes all day long about how back in his day, "niggers" were marginalized or whatever, and now they are taking over the world. That's what he says anyway. Nobody can stand to be around him, he is so horribly stuck in his old mindset about how things used to be. But he grew up in the backwoods of the deep south, so maybe he isn't completely representative of his population.

Sure we do. We Acadians are recognized as our own ethnicity universally. And really to me, being Acadian is more important than being "white" or whatever. I think it depends on the area. The South in general has a "culture" but it's obviously European inspired. Acadians are certainly unique though.
