because growing up, I only ever heard that word from neoconfederate types, and so I’m conditioned to associate that word with “the South shall rise again” bullshit

I think Fidel Castro had a part in making popular yankee as an insult since at least in latam he was the main dude that used it as an insult
And i know that since pre-fidel cubans used to say gringo to refer to americans but Fidel would instead use yankee during his speeches
if fidel called me a yankee it’d sting
He may be gone but Raul Castro and Miguel Diaz Canel can still call you a yankee
I’m certain they called some of those DSA members yankee after they left.
Oh my god I completely forgot about the DSA clown troupe adventure in Cuba.
