NOAA fisheries said that a dead bottlenose dolphin was found on West Mae’s Beach in Cameron Parish, Louisiana with multiple gunshot wounds on March 13.
Huh, TIL. I honestly expected it to be related to a really old racist term and not to French
Coonass, or Coon-ass, is a term for a person of Cajun ethnicity. Some view it as derogatory, however many Cajuns embrace the name. The term is believed to originate from the French word conasse, meaning a fool.

Less than a year for this site to turn into a shit hole. Well done buddy, you did it.
Just to re-state the comment I replied to for when it’s inevitably gone:
Classy.
Isn’t “Coonass” what Cajun’s call themselves though? Or am I missing something?

No you’re not missing anything, I think people are missing that detail and down voted out of ignorance
Even got removed by a mod lol
I let them know! Sure reads like a spicy comment initially. They can see what they think.
I could tell it isn’t a slur because lemmy.ml didn’t remove it from my view, lol.
Changed to they “delete their comment”, interesting!
Coonass is the name for Cajuns, they call each other that
Bad response, but not a racial slur - means idiot Cajun.
Restored, but take your downvotes
