Do people in Indiana not know that Hoosier is slang for white trash in other parts of the country? Or do they just not care?
The sort who would care fled already - typically in early adulthood. Those who remain are already letting us know by staying that they just don't care (about anything really), so tolerating the name 'Hoosier' is just par for the course.
...and hey. Its not that bad of a life. Drinking beer, going bowling and then going home to beat the sh**t out of your wife and your 6 kids because your boss totally owns you at work.
