The raggies are a group of people that live in the northwestern part of Connecticut. This is not so much a hurtful term as it is a mutual understanding between the people. For example the people of Winsted, Connecticut use it to define a group of people as 'poor and uncivilized'. This term however is often used just to joke around rather than to be used as an actual harmful term.
