36. As one being born in OK, but now a long-term MO resident, this disappoints me terribly about how OK is viewed.

We may have some family left in OK but that's been 60 years ago, so more than likely, they're passed on. I do like the Oklahoma Cowboy Museum in OKC, and some of the people in OKC, but I'm doing a double take on anything Oklahoma now, despite it being the place I was born. It's really disappointing to me that so many have sided on the side of the racist student. Disappointing.
