Okies used to be a big slur, but that has changed. Most folks are now proud to be from the tough people that stuck it out through the dust bowl days of the 1930s. All of my grandparents were in Oklahoma then. My wife's grandparents lived on a farm several miles outside of Ames, OK in the middle of nowhere, no electricity, no running water, and and they raised 5 kids. They were tough.
Merle Haggard helped in making Okie something of pride.
