I think you just pissed off about a billion Chinese. Anyway, I must point out that you yourself have a little love affair going with pork barbecue -- a Southern (Eastern NC) invention, at least in the manner in which you prepare it.
I, for one "neo" Confederate or whatever, have no animosity toward northerners unless they move here and then talk about "how great it is back home." Despite the fact I truly believe the South HAD the right to seceed, it makes little difference now unless someone wants to mount a legal challenge. The fighting forces of the North and South had huge respect for each other -- as well they should have. Hating "Yankees" today because of what happened in the 1860s would be much the same as blacks today blaming everything bad that happens to them on slavery -- it just doesn't compute.
I love living down here and have no interest in EVER moving back north. It would take a job offer beyond my wildest dreams to even consider moving back. There is NO southern traditions or ways of life that I want to change. Do I want to see somethings added, yes. But who doesnt?
What I dont like is the way I am treated, referred to, and talked about by some southerners based solely on the location of my birth.
My introduction to southerners is this...
I moved to Raleigh on July 1, 1996. I pulled into the parking space infront of the townhome i was moving into at Dutch Village. I didnt have a "yankee car" or something different. I had a big, bad ass Dodge Ram Charger. A vehicle southerners like. Well, my new neighbor was standing infront of his townhome. He obviously saw the NY plate on the front of my truck. The second my foot hit the pavement and I was out of the truck he looked at me and said "Great, another fucking yankee." And then proceeded to go inside his townhome.
He was quickly introduced to Mr. Gibson Explorer and Mr. Marshall Stack.
