      It's all relative. People from different parts of the world call
      us all Yankees. If you live in the U.S., Yankees are only people
      from the North. If you live in the North Yankees are a specific
      class of people descended from old English settlers. I live in
      Boston, and by my own perspective I am NOT a Yankee, but to people
      from other places I AM a Yankee. To muddy the waters further,
      "Yankee" was a Dutch insult for English settlers, but it is now a
      term of pride for some people (and an different insult to others).

      <div>PS: Bit of a pet peeve of mine: in Spanish we can call people
        from the USA "estadounidenses", which would literally translate
        to "Unitedstatesians". &nbsp;I find "estadounidense" quite proper and
        sufficiently descriptive. However, many of us still fall into
        the pitfall of describing, particularly Anglophone
        "Unitedstatesians", as "Americanos". (On a side note, a friend,
        Tim Unwin, is actually encouraging everyone to call the people
        of the USA "USAns" (pronounced you-ess-ns)).</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>The only nation that would have standing to object the
        "estadounidense" demonym is Mexico, since the official name of
        that republic is United States of Mexico. But I don't think
        Mexicans would like to be called "estadounidenses" (especially
        in the Trump age!). &nbsp;This discussion is not irrelevant since -by
        definition- language defines everything (pun intended). Take for
        example the historic election of Francis as Pope (and note that
        I'm not religious person). Everybody and the media celebrated
        him as the first "Latin American" Pope. &nbsp;But Francis is much
        more than that: He is the First Pope from the New World; the
        first non-European Pope; the First AMERICAN Pope; period!!</div>
