That depends on where you live. To Brits, all Americans are Yanks. To a Texan, anyone not from Texas is a Yankee. “Yanks” and “Yankee” aren’t really
the same thing. A Texan would always say “Yankee” (or the more popular “Damnyankee”
).

I used to have a good friend from Seagraves. (I grew up in Lubbock). People in Texas think everybody not from Texas is a yankee. In their eyes I became a yankee many years ago when I moved to Colorado.(lost the accent)
