TIL the #etymology of #Hoosiers.

Shouldn’t that be considered a banned DEI word?

“Hello, we interrupt this broadcast of the #NCAA #basketball tournament…”

The image displays a block of text on a white background, discussing the historical terms used to refer to "Poor Whites" in American history. The text is formatted in a standard paragraph style, with the majority of the text in black font, and certain key terms highlighted in blue. The highlighted terms include "rednecks," "hillbillies," "crackers," "Hoosier," "white trash," and "planter." The text explains that these terms are often considered disparaging and were used by the white Southern planter class to distance themselves from elements of society they viewed as "undesirable," "lesser," or "antisocial." It further elaborates on the use of the term "Poor White" to denote a separation within a social hierarchy, with "poor" indicating a low position and "white" used to subjugate rather than to classify.

#Trump will be at the #NCAA #Wrestling championship in #Philadelphia tonight, and the #resistance plans to show him what the people think of him! I know many of us have laughed at Philly sports fans' behavior, but I WILL GIVE THEM THEIR DUE: I've seen them boo the living daylights out of Gary Bettman and I expect an even more impressive display tonight!

Give it to 'em, Philly!
