Are we not allowed say Yanks anymore?

  You can say what you want, whether or not people will understand what you mean or interpret it the way you intended is the more relevant question, in my opinion.

  Yank here, you've certainly got my blessing. Can't imagine someone being bothered by it. I think of it as a demonym just like Brits or anything else.

    Those with deep Confederate roots might be bothered. Or Red Sox fans.

      Is the term also fine to use when trying to include the BIPOC citizens?

        All Americans get to be called Yanks, and if the southerners complain, hey - they did lose the civil war.
