La Salle Parish, LA for racial conservatism/general reactionary-ness, from what I’ve heard.
Yes. It voted for a white Democrat over Bobby Jindal in 2003. It's David DuKKKe's best parish.
to be fair, so did 52/64 counties in the state.  Jindal won it in the next 2 elections.

If we are looking for most "racially conservative" (or just racist) counties in the country I'd look for whichever counties swung the hardest from Kerry to McCain and have never returned to the Democrats.

So basically eastern Kentucky, southern West Virginia, eastern Oklahoma and southwest Pennsylvania (outside Pittsburgh)?

Probably, though on second thought there's some plausible reason some of them had (like the decline of coal unions) for that swing other then race. After glancing at LaSalle's electoral history which went Thurmond-Stevenson-Eisenhower-Nixon-Goldwater-Wallace and every Republican since i'm guessing it's others with a similar pattern to that.
