Pointing out that Mardi Gras krewes being segregated was the entire point. This article focuses primarily on Carnival as celebrated by the US.

Also, I’m gonna go ahead and assume you are not from the Gulf Coast because you are citing a source about “New Orleans krewes in 1902.” Why would I assume that? Because you would already know that Mardi Gras history in the US has a partially oral history and that most books on the subject are from secondhand sources that focus primarily on how the wealthy elite celebrate, for example crowning yourself as a king and showering people with throws. Krewes, as I stated in the article, are “newer” than North American Carnival celebrations. In 1699, French settlers landed near modern day New Orleans and had some recognition with a site they dubbed “Mardi Gras point.” And my hometown of Mobile is recognized by historians to have the first organized Mardi Gras celebrations in what is now the US, and is recognized as a continuous Mardi Gras celebration dating back to 1703. Slaves came early after that. Other Europeans, such as the Spanish and those with Jewish ancestry came after that. Native Americans were already trading with the French. And Asians eventually immigrated as well, with the largest push being from Vietnam and Cambodia in the 60s and 70s, but there were already sizable communities of Chinese living in Mississippi and Louisiana. So the region is fully recognized as a “gumbo” of culture and ethnicities. Everyone celebrated Mardi Gras, either secretly or defiantly. Also Spain ruled the region for a large block of time. Mobile was Spanish until 1813 when it was straight up invaded by the US. Spain was too busy fighting all the Latin American Wars of Independence at the time and eventually sold Florida too, in 1821. Pensacola, FL also has a Mardi Gras tradition.

I’m also noticing you are going to various articles on race to seemingly concern troll. If that is not your intention, know that your comment history appears in that vein.
