Coonass territory is a very small part of the state. Brackish water areas where people are still involved in commercial fishing. Anything outside of that may be “Cajun,” but it’s not “coonass.”

I say Florida parishes are more redneck than coonass.

Which have a population of around 1 million added to CENLA and NLA.

No doubt. Old people from Tangipahoa sounded like they were from some other foghorn leghorn southern state.

50 something percent of the state is Protestant, and 20 something percent is Catholic. That’s probably your answer.

A bit surprising as someone who has only lived in the Acadiana area and New Orleans, but apparently the rednecks from Baton Rouge and nothern LA have us out numbered

Wait no way? I thought North Louisiana was Cajun and South Louisiana was redneck?

WP was recently referred to as the doormat to Mississippi and that shite stuck with me. We did get some south of I-10 folk after Katrina so there’s a mix.

Nola people are yats. True coonasses are probably about 25% of the state.

This is a very detailed outline of a single parish. Might be over analyzing this just a little.

People try to lump Nola Yats with Cajun people. Definitely two totally separate groups.

I wasn’t saying that I consider people in New Orleans as Cajuns, just that the two areas that I’ve lived in have the fewest number of rednecks in them. Essentially I’m not around rednecks a whole lot, so it surprised me that there are more of them.
