阿肯色州很糟糕。這個州和南方的許多其他州一樣，種族主義很強，“窮鄉僻壤”，而且無知。大多數人認為我們仍然生活在60-70年代。這其中一些原因是缺乏教育和糟糕的養育方式。一些可以歸因于消極的態度和不符合標準的生活方式。這些是很多人對阿肯色州和南部有負面的看法

Arkansas is terrible. The state (like many others in the South) is very racist, "backwoods", and ignorant . Most believe we still live in the 60's -70's. Some of this is due to a lack of education and poor parenting/upbringing. Some can be attributed to negative attitudes and a substandard way of life. These are some of the reasons that a lot of people have a negative perception of Arkansas and the south in general.

我是亞洲人，為了上大學而在美國住了五年多。我去過美國很多地方，有很多來自世界各地的熟人和朋友。阿肯色州是種族主義最嚴重的州。如果你是非白人美國人，非基督徒，或者是非保守派人士。請不要住在這里。只是參觀一下這個地方沒有問題，因為那里有很多美麗的地方，還有南方的熱情好客。表面上看，他們對別人很好，但是當遇到法律糾紛或當地社區時，沒有人幫助非白人，因為他們害怕自己的社區，如果他們知道如何與非白人交往。我受到了很多歧視。此外，即使是當地人誰曾經對你很好，他們開始表現出陌生人。在基督教的背后，有很多骯臟的事情發生。他們使用基督教。我我真的很高興能真正走出沮喪的地方

I'm Asian and lived in the state over five years for attending to a college. I have been so many places in the Unites States and have a lot of acquaintances and friends from over the world.Arkansas is the most racist states. If you are non-white American, non Christian, or non conservative person. Please don't live in the place. Just visiting the place is no problem because there are a lot of beautiful places and southern hospitality are exist.On the surface level, they are nice to other people, but when a legal trouble or a local community get involved, nobody help for non-white people because they are afraid of their community if they knew how associate with non-white people. I have had a lot of discrimination. In addition, even local people who used to be nice to you, they start to act stranger.Behind the Christianity, there are a lot of dirty things going on. They use Christianity.I am so happy to get out of the depressed place truly.

現在是2015年。我住在費耶特維爾，KKK在這里有很好的代表性。他們是日常角色中的普通人，除非受到“改變”的挑戰，否則不一定要做廣告，但也不要試圖隱藏。哈里森，史密斯堡，亨茨維爾在他們的地區有更高的參與度。人們認為費耶特維爾是一個進步的城市-嗯，與阿肯色州的其他地方相比。這里有很多錢，有大學城，也有不錯的，負擔得起的住的地方。但是最近有很多人從上述地區移民到這個地區，在波杜克市，德克薩斯州；你正在掉頭回到南奧爾地區。我曾在一所大學工作，并且是一名學生，那里的高層人士公開表達了種族偏見。當我和其他人試圖以驚人的速度獲得大學教授的幫助時，我和其他人都受到了公開的歧視。我曾多次因為除了在他們所謂的地盤上是黑人外，沒有明顯的原因。我的家和車在我不知道的情況下遭到了破壞。種族歧視是一種常態。人們總是以陳規定型的觀點和非常不尊重的態度來對待你。如果你想融入其中，你必須彎下腰來習慣被人談論歸根結底，人們會用一種暗示他們對你有某種權威的方式來稱呼你。普通人會這樣做的。如果你和某個非少數民族發生爭執，不要指望其他非少數民族會支持你，即使他們以前是你的朋友。事實上，他們很有可能加入你的敵人。這很不幸，我已經失去了一些所謂的朋友，當我問他們為什么他們回答“我只是想活下來”。簡而言之，南奧爾人的精神如果一開始就死了的話，現在正在復活，你最好相信費耶特維爾的精神很強這并不是說，如果你是一個住在這里的少數民族，你就不會喜歡這里。少數民族中有一小部分人適應了這種環境。他們通常有很高的地位的工作，并且賺很多錢。但是，我的大多數留學生和非裔美國人的同志們確實目睹了一些不恰當的種族笑話不在場的群體和輕微的歧視經常被老師、老板、同事排除在外。大家一致認為這是可以容忍的，至少目前是這樣。但是，當你的研究顧問，或者是主管。我很欽佩那些能長期堅持下去的人。盡管如此，如果你不是現狀的話，這里并不是一個自我發展和長期停留的地方。我個人很高興在5年后離開這里，這里的蕭條歲月。這里的情況并沒有好轉。人們的態度是非常過時的，你被期望進入社會為你選擇的地方。如果不是的話，你就笑吧，那些在非常可怕和高度協調的情況下被趕出鎮外的人..隨你便。——nwaexpat

Here it is 2015. I live in Fayetteville and the KKK is very well represented here. They are ordinary folks in everyday roles who don't necessarily advertise ( unless challenged with "change") but don't try to hide either. Harrison, Fort Smith, and Huntsville have higher involvement in their areas.People think that Fayetteville is a progressive city - well, it is compared to the rest of Arkansas. There is a lot of money here, college town, and nice, affordable places to live. But with all the recent migrations to this area from the aforementioned areas and places in Podunk City, Texas; you are getting a u-turn back to the ole south. I have held jobs and been a student at the University where people in high places have expressed racial bigotry and openly. I as well as others have been openly discriminated against when trying to get help from college professors at an alarming rate. I've been repeatedly harassed by people for no apparent reason other than being black in their so-called territory. My home and car have been vandalized without reason known to me. Racial micro-agressions are the norm. People will always address you with the stereotypical view in mind and very disrespectfully. If you want to fit in, you gotta bend over and get used to being talked down to. People will address you in such a way that implies they have some authority over you. Ordinary folks will do this. If you are in a dispute with some non-minority, don't expect other non-minorities to support you at all even if they were your friend before. In fact, there's a high chance theyll join your enemy. Its unfortunate, I've lost a few so-called friends this way. When I ask them why they reply "I'm just trying to survive".In a nutshell the spirit of the ole south (if ever died to begin with) is being revived and you betta believe its strong in Fayetteville. That's not to say that if you are a minority who lives here you will not like it here. A tiny minority of the minorities are adapted to this type of environment. They usually have very high status jobs and make a lot of money. However, most of my international (students) and African American comrades do witness inappropriate racial jokes (about the groups not present) and minor discrimination (being excluded by teacher, boss, co-worker) more often than not. The consensus is that it is tolerable - at least for now. However, this can be a game changer when its your research adviser, or supervisor. I admire those who role with all the punches long enough to reach their goals.Nonetheless, this is not the place to come develop yourself and stay for the long run if you are not the status quo. I personally am glad to be leaving this place after 5 long, depressed years here. Things are not changing for the better here. Attitudes are very old fashioned and you are expected to fall into the place society has chosen for you. If not, *chuckle* there are those who have been run out of town under very dire and highly coordinated circumstances... Take as you wish. - nwaexpat

我討厭臟兮兮的樣子，因為我說了一句話，說的是那家伙如何滿手為白人女士把門關上，卻讓門砰地砸在我臉上，而我也有很多手，他看著我掙扎，一邊笑著說。或者我們不要談論收銀臺的那個家伙是怎么不把零錢遞給我，而是寧愿關上門的把它放在柜臺上，而不是放在我張開的等待手中！或者說他們在賭場里談論我，猜測我太蠢了，不懂游戲，太窮了，我坐在同一張21點桌上，離我只有兩個座位，聽得清清楚楚，聽得見他們的聲音，還有，應該在旁邊工作的莊家是如何和他們一起笑的！在大多數其他州，我不必去處理這個問題。種族主義在這里很猖獗……我也是從肯塔基州來的，而且還沒有這里那么糟糕

I'm sick of getting dirty looks because I say something about how the guy held the door for the white lady with full hands but let it slam in my face while I've also got full hands and smirking about it as he watches me struggle. Or lets not talk about how the guy at the register goes out of his way to not hand me my change but would rather slam it down on the counter instead of putting in into my open waiting hand! Or about how they talk about me at the casino and speculate I'm too stupid to understand the game and too broke to play it all while I'm sitting at the same blackjack table 2 seats away within clear and obvious earshot and listening to them and how the dealer (who is supposed to be working by the way) is laughing it up with them! I don't have to deal with this in most other states. Racism is rampant here...Also I came here from Kentucky, and it's not NEARLY AS BAD AS HERE

我是西班牙裔，住在東北部。我們搬到阿肯色州是因為我丈夫的工作。那是一段非常糟糕的經歷。人們都會說他們是基督徒，但大多數人都是可惡的偽君子。他們不喜歡不同種族的人，如果你來自東北部或其他地區，他們也不會接受你當我去面試的時候，有些人是徹頭徹尾的敵意。我可以說，雖然在東北部有一些種族主義者，但在阿肯色州情況更糟，特別是如果你不是本地人的話。至少少數民族只要是合格的好工人，就能在東北部找到好工作。在阿肯色州，這一切都是關于你來自哪里和裙帶關系，他們也歧視學校和運動隊的孩子，所以家長們要小心！

I am Hispanic and lived in the Northeast. We moved to Arkansas due to my husband's job. It was a really bad experience. The people will all say they are Christian but most are hateful hypocrites. They don't like people of different ethnic groups and they will not accept you if you come from the Northeast or other parts of the country. Some people were downright hostile when I'd go for job interviews. I can say that although there are some racists in the Northeast, it's much worse in Arkansas particularly if you are not from the area. At least minorities can get good jobs in the NE if they are qualified and good workers. In Arkansas, it was all about where you come from and nepotism. They also discriminate against children in the schools and sports teams, so parents beware!

我住在阿肯色州的西爾西市，得到這個！這不是一個種族主義的州。這是一個人口很少的州。所以墨西哥人或亞洲人真的不常見。而且，我們的反應并不總是那么重要。我曾經和一個叫索菲的俄羅斯女孩做過朋友。她是一個非常好的女孩，我很好奇，不像你說的阿肯色人看到來自不同文化背景的人時會感到困惑。這里也有很多黑人。我認識的人中有99.9%從未和我認識意思是從來沒把它當回事！在阿肯色州，人們非常友好友好。阿肯色州也有種族主義者，但不是所有人

I live in searcy, Arkansas and GET THIS! It's NOT a racist state. It's a very small state with a small population. So it really isn't common to see Mexicans or Asians. And plus, we don't always react like it's a really BIG DEAL. I used to be friends with a Russian girl named Sophie. She was a really nice girl and I was curious not confused like you say Arkansans are when that see someone from a different culture. And there are MANY black people here as well. About 99.9 percent of the people I know NEVER and I mean NEVER made a big deal about it! In Arkansas people are very nice and friendly. And there are racist people in Arkansas. But not everyone.

因為哈丁，西爾西更容易接受多樣性，如果不是因為哈丁，那么其他地方也會一樣

Searcy is just more accepting to diversity because of Harding. If it wasn't for Harding then it would be the same as other places.

我從馬薩諸塞州搬到阿肯色州是因為我丈夫的工作，這是我一生中最糟糕的7年，主要是因為我12歲的女兒受到了公然的歧視。我是西班牙裔，她也有一半是西班牙裔。雖然她在國內一直是最受歡迎的體育明星，也獲得了很多榮譽，教練們一再破壞她的自信心，虐待她。起初我們認為這是“運氣不好”，但這種情況發生的次數太多了。老師們也是種族主義者，經常在教室里對某些孩子發表種族主義言論。當我向副校長投訴時，他讓我告訴我女兒要“堅強起來”。他們不僅僅是對所有非白人的偏見，他們中的大多數人都討厭東北部的任何人。如果你不是南方白人，或者至少來自鄰近的中西部州，你就很難找到工作，有朋友和你的孩子會被不斷地破壞和虐待

I moved from Massachusetts to Arkansas due to my husband's job and it was the worst 7 years of my life - mainly because of the blatant discrimination against my daughter who was 12 at the time. I am Hispanic and she is half Hispanic. Although she'd always been a favorite back home with sports and had many accolades, the coaches repeatedly undermined her self- confidence and mistreated her. At first we thought is was "bad luck" but it happened too many times. The teachers were also racist and often made racist comments against certain children right in the classroom. When I complained the the vice principal, he told me to tell my daughter to "toughen up". They are not only prejudice against all non-whites, most of them hate anyone who is from the Northeast. If you are not white and Southern (or at least from a neighboring Mid-western state), you will have trouble getting a job, having friends and your kids will be constantly undermined and mistreated.

我在那里長大，因為我的家人一直歧視少數民族和同性戀，所以我再也不去探望他們了。當我讓他們在我女兒面前停下來的時候，我就再也沒有受到同樣的待遇了。甚至我奶奶都告訴我我，我要在地獄里被燒死，我自己的女兒長大后會恨我，因為我只是一個可恨的人。我記得我的堂兄弟們在高中的時候，因為他們是黑人而去跳人。我記得在同一天，有一場戰斗把大部分的中學和高中都圍住了，那完全是為了種族。在軍隊里呆了5年，離開了那個地方，我再也回不去了

I grew up there. I don't even go visit anymore due to my family constantly discriminating against minorities and homosexuals.when I asked them to stop in front of my daughter I haven't been treated the same since. Even my grandma told me that I was going to burn in hell and that my own daughter is going to hate me when she gets older because I'm just a hateful person. I remember my cousins going and jumping people in high school because they were black. I remember there being a fight that contained most of the middle and high school the same day that was solely over race. After 5 years in the army and getting away from that place there is no way I will ever move back.
