@RebelDirtFarmer@poa.st @pinemarten@poa.st @ArmchairEconomist01@poa.st Always thought Yankees were northerners, folks from above the Mason-Dixon and from Illinois eastward. Thought I was a different class of outsider since so many from the north look down on Californians as well.

@Charles_in_Charge@poa.st @pinemarten@poa.st @ArmchairEconomist01@poa.st Yankee is just shorthand for not a Southerner. Yes, the Westcoast maniacs are a different breed so I separate good and bad Yankees. That's it. The key for folks moving into the South is simple. Be a good guest. Have some reverence for the culture that attracted you in the first place. Recognize the slower pace, the gentile and wonderful accents, and know you are mostly welcome until you make yourself a pariah. For many "bad" Yankees, they damn themselves with grating voices and terrible attitudes within moments of stepping foot on our hallowed ground. Blood and soil is a thing. So again Charles, welcome to the greatest culture on the planet. It's getting more valuable by the day! God Bless The South!
