Don Prudhomme is an American drag racer. Ethnic background is not something that is usually recorded when discussing participants in this activity.
His surname suggests a French, French-Canadian, or Cajun connection for one of his male ancestors.
His father was from Texas, his mother from Louisiana. His mother's maiden name (Monette) suggests French ancestry, also. Geographically, this would strongly imply a Cajun ancestry. They moved to California in the 1930s, where Don was born.
