Back in the day they both referred to people who settled in the Louisiana region. Cajun comes from the French word “Acadians” and refers to Canadians who came down and settled in Louisiana.
Originally, there was no difference. Creole or Cajun people could be any race and it referred to where they lived. Now the meanings have been washed away and replaced. The “meanings” that they have taken on today, and when it comes to food, essentially Cajun means white and Creole means black. But again, really no difference.
