Message: <blockquote data-quote="jackjacoman" data-source="post: 2898019" data-attributes="member: 117875">To me the only meaning of the word "Yankee" was the baseball team from New York, until I moved to Trinidad for a semester as an undergrad, where I was perpetually referred to as "Yank" or "Yankee" or "White Boy."Generally I think of myself as American, sometimes as Norwegian-American.  I find I think of myself less as "Norwegian-American" now that I have some friends who are actual born-in-Norway, speak-Norwegian Norwegians.  I feel a little presumtuous (sp?) calling myself Norwegian when I've never been to Norway and, aside from a few phrases, can't speak Norwegian, regardless of where my great-grandparents came from.</blockquote>
