I wish I saved that meme I saw responding to “confederate statues are my heritage” with “destroying the confederacy is MY heritage”
EDIT:
Is yankee offensive? I am british and have called americans “yanks” for the past 10 years at least… Should i stop or is it ok?
Nah. It can be used derisively but isn’t in and of itself offensive. You’re ok. Good on you for asking though.
Meh, in Tennessee a local bar has the Confederate battle flag on the wall and I have heard in there several times that all Yankees should be shot, referring to anyone from the north. The issue is that people have moved around so much there are from the north in the south and vise versa. New York and California are the most hated states by many southerners.
So you would find it offensive?
If you say it referring to Americans as a British person, non offensive. If you are from somewhere where you use it as a derogatory term… I would say it is intended to segregate the populace and that will offend people.
Participation trophies, don’t they hate those?
