Beauregard and northern Calcasieu are much more Redneck than Cajun or Couyon

I cant say theres much difference between a coonass, couyon and cajun

Isnt a couyon just a crazy cajun person?

The southern tip of the Tangipahoa/St. Tammany border is pretty spot-on. I'm in Madisonville with rednecks to my west and yats to my east in Mandeville.

These maps are always dumb, though fun to talk about.

Are there a lot of yats outside of NOLA St. Benard and parts of Jefferson?

And some of the friendliest staff you'll find at a fast casual establishment.

It's not even 1 thing except to folks outside the city - this will give you some flavor:

I don’t know what distinction it’s trying to draw between Cajuns and Coonasses, but the Lafourche/Terrebonne folks are distinguishable from the Lafayette area people to me.

Coonass should be Lafourche Terrebonne assumption and st Mary and possibly some of the River parishes.

No, there should only be 2 sections. South of I-10 are Cajuns and/or Southerners and north of I-10 are Canadians.
