Well we have the New York Yankees, people from the northeast of the US are called Yankees, Yankee Doodle is a well loved American song, there's Yankee pot roast too! In my personal experience people I have been good friends with from England, Canada, and Australia call me a "yank". Never had a problem with it. I think Americans are so patriotic that the word "Yankee" could never be an insult.

Not really. Being called a confederate isn't too nice though. Old people use the phrase "them southerners are still fightin' the war." But other then that - it's a redneck thing.

Not really. I'm used to it because I'm originally from New England so other Americans have called me that anyway.
