Maybe because ignoring intolerance is the name of political correctness is just plain wrong.

I promise I will NEVER call you a pejorative. Is it O.K. if I call you New Yorkers? Love and Kindest wishes, Gracie (the kraut) P.S. pejorative is a new word for me. |

Funny you should say that. Pat Conroy's " The Prince of Tides" makes that very clear. I am one third my way through.

Pats2010, being a New Yooorker myself, I've experienced it. Loved "Prince of Tides" and his new book is equally as good.

I read South of Broad a couple of weeks ago. My 1st Conroy read. It was real good.

As Popeye says "I ams what I am", we are expatriate New Yorkers now. But you can call me anything except late for dinner.

My husband is from New York and has lived in the south long enough to be called a damned yankee. That's a regular yankee who becomes expatriated to the south permanently.

The way I heard it is: A Yankee is anyone from north of the Mason Dixon Line. A Damned Yankee, as you point out, is one that moves here.

Most true southerners do not consider Florida as part of the South.

That's because, in Florida, they are not called Yankees. They are called snowbirds.
