What’s Acadiana like, politically? Completely wingnutty, or more moderate because it’s linguistically and religiously from the rest of the Solid South?
There is some social conservatism there, since it is still very much a rural area, but because of the muti-cultural background of the residents, who are a mix of French Canadian, Spanish, Haitian, German, and several tribes of Native Americans, the taint of racism isn’t nearly as prevalent as other areas.
