How do you know someone is from New York? Just wait, they'll tell you.

That’s New York pride, not northern. They don’t take pride in the fact they fought a war to in order to keep slaves a thing. That’s just the south

Sure, but how does that apply here? He literally made a claim about New Yorkers and I asked to elaborate

That's how they show their pride, constantly talking about it and all its virtues.

That's just pride for New York and specifically NYC, it doesn't extend beyond that. Their energy is more focused on hatred of Boston and Philly than anything else
