Isn't there a little Cajun enclave in the Marksville area, NE from Ville Platte?

Actually there are a shite ton of rednecks in BR and not a ton of coonasses. I would also say like before Avoyelles, St Landry and Evangeline or more steeped in cajun culture than most anywhere else.

I'm from north BR, am 1/4 Boudreaux, and never found it offensive. My Grandmother, 100% Cajun from Ascension Parish, used it all the time. When I use it in CA, they think it's offensive.
Welcome to America circa 2015/16, where the people who should be offended by a term view it as a term of endearment, and clueless idiots with no connection to the term get offended by it. Thanks Obama.

oonass" offensive?
To make a long story short, I was at lunch with some friends. While we were discussing food, I said, "Give a coonass some roadkill, a squirrel and a nutria and he'll give you the best meal of your life."
The person at the table next to me said, "I'm from Baton Rouge and I find coonass to be offensive."
I was dumbfounded. I apologized , but I thought it was a fairly jovial term?
people from BR ain't coonasses

When we were in Omaha (2009), we tailgated next to some great LSU fans. We all shared "coonass, gringo, tea-sipper" in a laughing, back-slapping manner
This sounds gay AF.

Didn't happen.
Everyone I know would find that to be a complement honestly.

Not to me. I'm not a coonass though.

Not really.
There was this one time when I was in college and my dad came to help me move some of my stuff out and there was a student in my dorm who was originally from Denmark and was also Pentecostal which he never swore. My dad was at the entrance and the student let him in and said to my dad "You must be the coon come to help him move."

Actually, coonass is offensive, primarily to older generations. My late father didn't like the term so I wouldn't use it around him. It doesn't bother me. When you look up the term, it actually is a French word. It means, "A stupid person".
Some oldtimers still dont like it.
My grandfather got pissed anytime someone said it around him. He grew up as a dirt poor farm boy in Abbeville but refined himself and started a business in Baton Rouge. He always tried to stay classy but call him a coonass and well the coonass would come out.

Nah, I don't think it would be taken as well as most in here are suggesting. In many ways it is like the n-word, perfectly acceptable among other coonasses, but if an out-of-towner walked into a bait shop in Delcambre or Bayou Black and said "do you coonasses sell shrimp" he would definitely get a few crooked looks.
That isn't to say that people would be offended or a fight is about to break out, but everyone would stop and look at the guy.
