Patently false. Having gone to public schools, but having family and friends who attended Catholic, U-High, Episcopal, and Parkview, I find that social circles are still, well into my 30’s, at least, largely defined by what school you graduated from. Baton Rouge is extremely cliquey, and hs is one of the ways in which these cliques define themselves.

Arrogant and imposing? Like an Austin biker gang? I don't get it.

Patently True. I went to Woodlawn in Baton Rouge and graduated in 1993. My girlfriend of 11 years went to St Josephs Academy. People here may ask where you grew up and went to school but I can absolutely assure you we do not pass judgement. The private school cliques may exist but not the public school. And the private schools look less exclusive than they did 20 years ago.

The Battin Rudge Magnet ppl are almost as bad as the private school ppl

However, I don’t think there is as much animosity among/between schools as there is in NOLA.

It's a conversation starter with someone roughly my age because maybe we know some mutual people but I don't really give a shite otherwise. I don't think I've set foot on the campus of my HS since my last day SR year.

I might could see his point if he gave an actual explanation other than he got his feelings hurt once and still holds a grudge like a woman

You're not wrong. IIRC, he's a Cuban from Florida, and he moved to Alabama for the cheaper real estate. He became semi-famous here for his "worst hoods of Montgomery" videos. A few months back, suddenly he was all "I have to leave this racist hellhole". We were like, "OK, bye, don't let the door hit your arse on the way out, Fidel".

It’s not that serious. The hs’s aren’t west side story gangs, but cliques are very much influenced by hs. Some bars even have crowds that are more Catholic High folks verses others that are more Parkview. It’s silly, but it’s definitely true.

Which ones?

I’ve been to almost every bar in BR and have yet to feel like one is a particular high school’s alumnus bar

Where in anything except the name is Baton Rouge French mixed with southern?
He’s not wrong about the city sucking all the way around though. 90% of residents would agree.

People from Walker always seemed to wind up on 3rd St on Fri and Sat nights.

I was going to say his wife must have had a train run on her while he watched for him to hate BR so much but god damn. No one is fricking that.
