Ethnic Chiac Acadian 

Share definition Flag
An Ethnic Chiac Acadian, sometimes spelled Chiak Akadian or Chiakkadian, is a mixed or creole Acadian ethnicity, originating and residing primarily in coastal south-east New Brunswick, Canada. They also speak a distinct Creole language, which is also called Chiac (yet some non-chiac of the region also speak the language).

The Chiac Acadians are primarily of Native Indigenous , Acadian , French/Spanish (Moors) and African ancestry by co-mingling and integrating with the Black Loyalists who migrated to New Brunswick, into the Chiac Acadian community of coastal southeast New Brunswick, in the 1780's.

The Ethnic Chiac Acadian has dealt with forced assimilation/rape/oppression/suppressed history/acculturation/whitewashing and subsequent deportation and enslavement primarily by the colonizing British. Due to this assimilation and colonization (prior, during and after the exile), many Chiac Acadians have lost a fair amount of their original dark pigmentation and features to some degree.
The Ethnic Chiac Acadian are a vibrant community, but they're essentially a forgotten people and a forgotten history.

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.
