BR has always been kind of a mixed bag. I think there are a lot of French catholics here though. I'm not one of them though.
Ive always thought of EBRP as little Mississippi, in the sense of how many people hail from Mississippi and came here in search of work, especially in the early 20th century, LP, and Tangi are definitely little Mississippi. That’s not to say there aren’t plenty of people of French decent that live in BR, but they also came here for work as well. Over the years, and especially post hurricanes and flooding, Baton Rouge grew if not for work, most assuredly because it was high ground compared to the rest of the surrounding areas.

My great grandparents moved here from Mississippi in the 20's so that my great grandfather could go work at Standard Oil.
