its just the Brits who call us “Yanks”

More correctly, “its just the folks of the British Empire who call us “Yanks”. Have been referred to as a “Yank” by Canadians, Aussie & New Zealanders. This while operating with their Navies many year ago.

Add the Irish. They call us Yanks and they are not British, not even the ones in Northern Ireland.
