I moved from Illinois to Louisiana (the Land of Lincoln) in 1998. I live in South Louisiana outside B.R. toward N.O. They are racist fucks here but they are nowhere, anywhere, no way, as racist as Central and Southern Illinois where I grew up at. I have three adult children that still live there and my oldest son is one of the biggest Trump-loving KKK-loving racists I have ever met in my life. I haven't spoken to him in 10 years. He is nowhere an isolated individual racist there.
LOL, you are very close. I am next door in Ascension Parish. When I first moved here I did live in the French Settlement / Head of Island area by the Moonlight Inn for close to a year. That area was/is racist central and still not as bad as the 99.999999% area of Illinois I moved from.
I moved from Livingston Parish to DuPage County about 17 years ago...sill go down there about once a year but I've noticed the trips are much shorter as time goes by. Nothing changes down there and it makes me sad.
