Old Southerners (some) hate Yankees. Only good manners prevents them from spitting at your feet.
When I lived in Texas in the late 90's, one of the women I worked with used to have me over for neighborhood gatherings and such. Cool family, I liked them a lot! She sort of adopted me in because I was far from my family I guess.
Every time she introduced me to someone new, it was "I want you to meet my friend Jim, he's a Yankee.".
Every. Single. Time.
I found it charming. But that's my white privilege showing I keed, I keed.
