Couldn't track it down on the net but I remember a poll from a few years ago that asked foreigners their "most favorite" and "least favorite" state. Kentucky finished 4th (behind California and 2 others, can't remember which). New Jersey finished last.

Louisiana Creoles can be of any race or mix of races. I get what you are trying to say though.

Beyonçé is Bahamian & Louisiana Creole.

There are even white Creoles and Asian Creoles

I think the most famous US state is Texas. It seems quintessentially American and larger than life.

I have noticed a lot of people think Texas is quintessentially American which is interesting for a state that has billed itself with the catchphrase, "Texas, it's like a whole OTHER country."

Don't get me wrong, despite having always maintained a distance from the United States, calling itself, the 'Lone Star State', and even having been an independent republic, Texas looms in the overall American picture, but from an American perspective, I wouldn't call it quintessentially American. If anything it deviates from the American experience the way America itself deviates from commonwealth countries in the Anglo nation paradigm.

Sometimes, when we have had a Texan president, some people have the uneasy notion that a foreigner is leading the country. :-)
