Yes, many of them have a "superiority complex".
I used to get mad and tell them that the road goes both ways and that they could go back north if they didn't like it here.
Now, I just laugh at them. I think that bothers them worse than anything.

Due to TV people are losing their regional accents. What exactly is a "yankee" accent anyway. For example in the NE, we have different accents in the boroughs of NYC, Boston, Maine, etc. Most of these accents are considered to be working class accents (although that doesn't mean that they are).
Question remains, why are the majority of the nations prestigious college and universities located in the Yankee North?

i'm from the south too, but your making a pretty big generalization. Not all yankee accents sound like the idiots on tv that are from Jersey. Although i have meet some people who talk like there on the Sopranos and it is annoying. But most of them sound just like where i live, b/c we don't all sound like the way they show us on TV either.

What do you refer to as Yankees? Are you talking about people who live in the eastern region of the United States or are you from Europe and you are speaking of American accents in general? Or, are you from America's southern region and you're still stuck back in the Civil War days? Well, I have to remind you, if this is the case, the war is over and the "Yankees" won!
By the way, you shouldn't judge one idiot and determine that all "Yankees" are as simple and dumb as that jughead!
Let's face it, there's more refrigerators on the porches of people living in the south than any other part of the United States.

I think wherever you're from, you make generalizations about ppl from other parts of the country. "Yankees" tend to think that all ppl from the south are dumb rednecks, but of course that isn't true. Actually, on average, ppl in the northeast are more educated than many other parts of the country. You cant judge a whole region based on one moron. Trust me honey, they have idiots everywhere, and I'm sure there are plenty from your hometown too.

They seem to be quite proud of their accent and the way they conduct their lives.
That is what they know and how they talk, so they are hell bent not to change one iota.
Of course, this is a generalization and not applicable to everyone, but I think you are making a valid point.
I live in an area inundated by New Yorksey escapees.
They can be annoying at times.

Hmmm. Although I am not a yankee I am assuming you must be a Southerner because you hate that yankee bastard so much. I hope you didn't trot your bare feet and overalls over to his house and burn a cross in his yard without your pointy hood hat on. I wouldn't want you to get caught. Next time he gets to you just take another swig out of that big jug with the three x x x on it and put your squirrel gun down. Now wrap yourself in that rebel flag and whistle dixie with the washboard boogie boys down at the ol' waterin' hole.

yes......do you find any accepted newscasters speaking with that Bronx nasal quality? When portrayed in film, that person is usually the joke.
