It’s also used by Americans generally in the NorthEast of the USA. Hell, your most popular baseball team (based out of New York City) is named them.
I don’t know a single Newfie who would be upset calling them a Newfie. I’m Canadian. Do you think I’d take offence to being called a Canuck? That’s generally used for Western Canadians. I life in Nova Scotia. I couldn’t care less because I’m not 10-ply soft.

by that logic it’s “ok” to call black people “removeds” because some of them call each other that sometimes, as a term of endearment.
is that what you’re saying?
a slur is a slur because of the derogatory context. the original comment implied that “yanks” are bigoted, which in itself is bigoted.
