Most of the country views the entire South that way, they just think that Louisiana has some coonasses to add to it.

You're probably right, to an extent. Most of my friends are from CA or the Northeast, and if I said name the first state you'd think of if I said redneck and/or trailer trash, they'd say Alabama.

Nationally, most of the folks associate Louisiana with the scenes depicted in The Water Boy -- swamps, coon asses, etc.

I have friends in nearly every Southern state, and all of them claim the others are shittier and trashier. It's funny because most of the states are almost exactly alike.

Confirmed. I went to school in upstate NY and that was pretty much the case. I can say though that I saw the stars and bars on the back window of a pickup truck in Troy, NY one night...they have their rednecks as well.
