yes see I know this, but a True yankee isn't just someone north of the mason dixon line and it is just one more instance of a blanket term for people that could be offensive. That would be like me calling someone from say Nevada a Confederate just because they are south of the mason-Dixon line. I have a feeling that they wouldn't appreciate it, or even better a southern Californian that. I don't take offense to it, it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me that something like that should matter in the same country. We are all Americans.
