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.

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.
