How do I get people to stop calling me a yankee?
#1
Obviously, I live in the South. Everyone calls me a yankee down here. I find it to be insulting- Plus, I live in the South and that technically makes me a Southerner, even though I've only lived down here for about a month

Rubbish. I live in France but that doesn't make me French. Lets face it, you're just a yankee.

If you live in France, you are French by nationality.

Don't sweat it, it's most likely not being meant as an insult. A little playful ribbing, maybe. Don't take it to heart.

I take it to heart because I don't identify myself with the north. I identify myself with the south since I live here and I really, really love being here.

Lol, no. People from the South are not yankees, they are Southerners.

Yankee = American who doesn't live in the South

C'mon, I was just winding you up. Don't you have a sense of humour - or even humor?

It's ridiculous to say that since I live in France I have French nationality, I don't, I'm English, I have a British passport etc etc.

No doubt you like living in the South, and I like living in France, but I don't expect the Froggies to think of me as French.

Start calling them rednecks...see how they like it....(joke)

but speaking seriously...if they don't sound as to be insulting you, then don't sweat about it...
