Immigrants in Francophonic Cajun/Creole Country (New Orleans, Lafayette: home, live, statistics)

[Cthulhu7]

The last few small pockets of French and Arcadian culture in South Louisiana are fast disappearing.
This culture grouping has most likely done a better job of holding off Anglo-Saxon culture than has any other early Old World settlement culture in the USA.
But if you study the immigrant statistics for the Parishes (Counties) in South Louisiana with the highest percentage speaking some form of french at home (it used to be on the top 101 lists, but I couldn't find it just now), there are many people from Vietnam (which makes sense, considering it was a French colony,) but there is a disproportionate number of people born in the United Kingdom.
Why is this?
Is it because many Brits also speak French?
And what is the background/culture of these Brits?
We're talking about a settlement area which has a retained an identity that is probably farther from a British one than any other, with perhaps the exception of some of the Hispanic cultures out west! And yet you will notice that among the areas that French/French Creole speaking Haitians settle, few, if any, settle in Cajun Country!
If french or french-creole speaking immigrants settled in those areas, it would strengthen that culture, a unique gem in a vast sea of geographic cultural homogeneity.

those arent even the same FRench speaking demographics though.
Louisiana wouldnt be so special if it was just a bunch of FRench people moving here. This place was settled by a certain group of people and those people are what propagate and populate Acadiana. If a bunch of French speakers move here it will mainly benefit New Orleans and the Creole culture rather than the Cajun.

ALso, in Lafayette French is still alive and well everywhere. Still even have ads in French and it is spoken on morning TV/News. Believe me its not going anywhere for a long time.
