I don't find that offensive at all. I've seen a few ppl get pissed just over 'Arky' - again not offensive I even refer to us as that.
(didn't read the thread at first and see Arky has already been mentioned)

It's only because the term "Arkie" or "Okie" originated back during the depression of the 1930's. At the time, it was used in a somewhat derogatory manner by northerners and westerners to describe the impoverished people from the south who relocated to California and other states to pick crops, similar to some similar terms used for illegal Mexicans today.
I was taught this as a kid in grade school.
It doesn't offend me. Not now.

I don't find either offensive. I think some overly sensitive hogs fans may be offended by 'arky' because it sort of harkens to someone IRL referring to R-Kan-Sas. But I really don't think he meant it disrespectful at the time. Think he just didn't know any better because he's a yankee.
