Hey guys...im doing a project for school. I'm born and raised in New Orleans, Lousiana. My house as many others were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. My question is how fo you feel about New Orleans people? A lot of people have misperceptions.

I've visited there twice before Katrina, from Indiana, and for the most part the people seem to be just like anywhere else in the south. A little southern hospitality goes a long way and makes a lasting impression. In response to the earlier answer, about the people being uneducated and it being a slum, No matter where you go throughout the United States, you will find that in some area of all large cities. I think the biggest misconception is that everybody gets drunk all the time. The truth is its the tourist that do most of the drinking. The Cajuns definitely have the love of good food, and who could blame them?

I was born and raised there too. I love the culture, the food, the genuiness of the people, the climate. I live in Missouri now but have to move back because there is no where quite like New Orleans and it's made up of the sweetest people I have ever met.

Until the hurricane, I just assumed that it was a gentle southern city that liked to party. Men and women with southern accents, large coloniel homes, Coloniel Sanders was everyones uncle. Now I think it is basically a slum, and I'm talking before the storm, and many people are extremely uneducated. (sorry, but you asked.)

Hello Christy... well, well, well , interesting question because most of us will say that we feel sorry, but thething is that i do not have any idea of what you guys had suffered because of the destruction.

i think that since they didn't leave for the hurricane even tho they knew it was gonna flood that they're stupid. they shouldn't have relied on the government. i think they're stupid for continuing to live in filth and waiting for my tax dollars to rebuild their houses. they're just one big pain in the ***.
by the way you can't have a "misperception" because it's how YOU perceive it, a perception can't be right or wrong.
