Saw this history of Yankee Doodle Dandy on y tube. Apparently the whole song is a diss track the British sang to insult the colonists as backwards bumpkins. Rather than be offended our forefathers accepted the moniker of "Yankee" with pride. Makes me think of deplorables, and rather than being offended we wear it with pride.
