Hrm...
I'd rather be about 100% General American English. My goal, linguistically, is to have my accent be unplacable other than American.
And I'd never be proud to have anything to do with something called "Yankee"... :)
(Every time I walk around NYC I'm reminded the true reason I hate NYC is because of all the Yankees hats, all the Yankee logos... ;))
