As a Marine there was this guy who oft times addressed us Northerners as Yankees. A senior LCPL.
After being in the unit long enough to speak out I asked where he was from during one of his rants...
"Virginia... West Virginia."
"Western Virginia... or West Virginia.?"
"Yeah... West Virginia."
"The state?"
"Yeah"
"You're a F*ing Yankee too!"
"I ain't no Yankee!"
"Hell you ain't! You're not a Southerner... you're just another Yankee from West Virginia... like everyone else from West Virginia... Northerners... Yankees. Just because you're a hillbilly doesn't make you a Southerner."
"Boy... you 'bout done makin' me mad."
lol... West Virginians... lol
And the cycle continues. Lol
But of course I've heard some pageant contenders that are able to express themselves very eloquently and show remarkable intelligence.

They'll marry smart rich guys too!
Only smart women tend to marry people on the same intellectual level in my observations.
