Okay, we need to talk. You keep using 'Yankee' as a generic term for Northerners, and it isn't. Yankee is a particular ethnic subtype of New Englander: Anglo with a particular set of cultural values. Those Boston Italians and Portuguese you talked about in a previous post? Not Yankee. Please stop taking my ethnic identity in vain. Thank you.
