Apparently I'm a racist for calling a Camaro a "Yank Tank"



Exactly as the title says. I've always known "Yank Tank" or "Yankee Tank" when referring to a very large American car to be a term of endearment. But Apparently I am a horrible racist white man for calling a big, tank-like American car a Yankee Tank.

Youtube comments are amazing at times.

I saw on Jeopardy the other day calling someone dude was a shortened version coming from "yankee doodle". So I guess calling someone dude would be racist too!

As an American second and Texan first i'm deeply offended!

To make up for this i insist you call in sick Monday so you can celebrate Memorial day with us yanks, drink many pints, and reflect on your misdeeds.

Shame on you sir!
