I lived in South East Texas for about 15 years. Right near the border of Louisiana. I ended up getting married to a cajun girl. (I know, pray for me)

GREAT culture. Really friendly people.

A funny story I was told was that the reason there is an X at the end of a lot of the cajun last names is because when people signed their name they just put an X down because they did not know how to spell. LOL... Now if you know cajuns then you know they have a huge sense of humor so how true this story is I don't know.

I dated this girl for a while with the last name Thibodeaux... pronounced Tibido. Man she was a hand full. Anyway... I used to mess with her about her cajun roots and say I could prove her ancestors did not know how to spell their last name... Then I would open the phone book up and there was like 13 different ways to spell Thibodeaux in there. LOL

Are you serious man? Racist? I don't see that statement as racist at all. Half the cajuns I know called each other backwoods cajuns or other words that would get censored here... (A furry creature that lives in the woods coupled with a word for your back side) LOL

He's just joking around.

True... But I don't know how that came out since "Geaux" would actually be pronounced "jo" (/ʒ/) in French.

Well French and Cajun French are two VERY different things. Heck English and Cajun English are two VERY different things.
