Lousy-Ana
For a few years I was the Plant Manager of the nation's largest sweet potato cannery, which is located in the Cajun part of South Louisiana. I must say that in general even the racist, rednecks of South Louisiana are genuinely nice people. They are hard working and will give you a helping hand. Really nice folks.
I can also assure you that the slaveholder, plantation mentality is alive and well in Louisiana. Their politics are among the nation's most corrupt, and the schools rate among the worst. Racism is alive and well, it is just covered up by a thin veneer.
Even with the generally very poor education one has to wonder what the Wal-Mart manager was thinking when the marked down the black Barbie to a much lower price than the white Barbie. Does this say something about how people in the deep south rate those who have dark colored skin?
