Do you still call yourself a New Yorker, Texan, Pennsylvanian, etc… or do you now consider yourselves North Carolinians?

I am a North Carolinian, originally from Ohio.

Why are you starting this strife again Michelle?

What strife? I am merely trying to get a better understanding of the people that have moved here. I do not think there is anything wrong with this question.

I think it's in reference to how many of the threads end up being so controversial.

In answer to your question, I refer to myself as a Carolinaian. Which is easy since I grew up in S. Carolina. And since both South and North Carolinaians refer to themselves that way, I have no problems. Liz

I believe around 60% of North Carolina's population were born here.

In this particular question though I made sure I included a state that is not northern so it would not end up being a south / north quarrel. I am looking for responses from all transplants that want to give one. I do not see how this question could end up causing strife.

I've got a "NATIVE" plate on the front of my vehicle with a silhouette of the State of NC in Carolina Blue.

How soon will I be accused of being "politically incorrect" for displaying same?

I currently live in Northern California. I was born and raised in Central California. I knew early on that I wanted OUT of California. At 19, I moved to Atlanta. I lived in the metro area for 7 years. I've been back in CA for 4.5 years - and am anxious to return to the South. I cannot stand California and must have temporarily lost my mind to move back.

I have a major identity crisis on my hands. I consider myself more of a Georgian than a Californian. I lived 1/4 of my life there, 3/4 in the Land of Fruits and Nuts.

My family is originally from Oklahoma, so I have always had a very southern influence and I've always loved the South. I once saw a sign that said "I wasn't born in the South, but I got here as fast as I could!" That's me - except I'm trapped back in California at the moment...

Always loved visiting NC from GA and Atlanta's growth is so out of control that we're considering the areas surrounding Charlotte as our new and hopefully permanent home.

I will say that there seems to be two types of people. The people who move to a place and make sure they maintain their original identity (IE - the folks who move to Arizona and make sure they have their Clemson logo on their mailbox and car) or the people who move to a place because they love the people and the area and they just soak it all up and adopt it as their own. I definitely fell into the latter category when I arrived in the South - and after coming back to California, I just feel like a fish out of water. I can't wait to get back "home"...
