[QUOTE="Pokinfun, post: 2971189, member: 28113"] When I was 16 I lived in Salinas, CA for about 4 months. The area was full of Okies that moved out during the depression. More than one girl would drag me over to meet their grandparents. They were all really proud to be Okies. As far as ***** goes, at a time and still is, a way of talking down to Indians. Some guys don't mind being talked down to and others can pass as white and will talk down to other Indians. I do not like the word. as far as the ones making comments about being thin skinned, just because you don't mind being less of a person, you do not need to toss an insult to drag the rest of us down with you.
