I'm a Brit, and currently dating a girl of the same nationality. She usually refers to Americans as "Yanks", and I'm just wondering, is this a racist term? It's fairly obvious that she isn't racist towards the USA in any other way; she speaks of them as she speaks of the Brits, or any other nation. I just don't want either of us to be considered offensive. Oh, and she is also (almost unhealthily so) obsessed with the Second World War. Could this have anything to do with it? Thank you very much for your time.
