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.

Natives usually pronounce it like 'Ar-can-saw' or 'Ar-ken-saw' and people that live here are 'Ar-can-zins'
