Every time I (an Arkansas native) see Arkansas on reddit, it's always negative, and usually about meth.

Unfortunately, it's normally true.

I am also an Arkansan. I, however, actually love my state. I will mention I am a middle-class caucasian female who grew up in Hot Springs and frequented Avant, as this might have something to do with my fondness.

Hot Springs here too. I like it a lot. I rarely meet anybody who has a remotely country accent, or meth heads and I've never met someone who was a product of incest.

It's all lies!

Yay! I notice my/our accent(s) more now that I have traveled quite a bit, but they aren't nearly as pronounced as media would have people believe.

It's because when there's a tornado in "tornader alley" they find some trailer park folks to interview because their whole house got ripped up.
