Ok, I usually don't post but find it this interesting. I'm not for or against this guy being Okie, could be.
Okie is a term dating from as early as 1907, [1] originally denoting a resident or native of Oklahoma. It is derived from the name of the state, similar to Texan or Tex for someone from Texas, or Arkie or Arkansawyer for a native of Arkansas.
