That is my point though, we aren't at war, why are we still using the term to describe northerners. We don't use Confederate to describe the southerners, so what is the point in labeling people from the North like that? I just don't get it. I am not upset by it, but it seems to serve no purpose than to have a convenient way to categorize people whether they fit in the group or not for no better reason than to write them off cause they wouldn't understand the culture here or something. That is how I feel when they use it as they generally only call me that when I don't join in on the black and white issue or don't know what a satsuma is (an orange I found out) or random stuff like that. It is almost a derogatory term the way they use it. *Shrugs* but I figure whatever as I am proud to be from North of the Line as well I don't particularly care for it down here and one day I will move back.
