- In line with the climate of political correctness now widespread in America, those of us from the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas and Missouri will no longer be referred to as HILLBILLIES because we find that term derogatory, degrading and discriminatory. We ask that you now refer to us as OZARK-AMERICANS.
Thank you for complying. (It may save you an ass kicking by some yokel dressed in denim overalls calling himself Bubba)
