They don't call them anything generally, only specific words for sub-groups like rednecks or hillbillies.
The situation is rather like the exchange between Humphrey Bogart and Peter Lorrie in the movie 'Casablanca'.
Lorrie, "You despise me, don't you Rick?"
Bogart, "If I ever thought about you at all I probably would"

In the civil war days, it was yanks vs rebs. Now it's rednecks, hillbillys, etc. The south is also called the dirty south. I moved down here, I like it better lol. Properties are nicer, cheaper, and the taxes are lower. I prefer the south.
nothing really, i mean if they have a country accent then they're hillbillies, but if they dont then they're just southerners and the first thing that comes to mind when i think of the south are crips.
I was born in the north, but have some family in the south. I think just Southern, maybe Country (since they like country music, country chic aesthetics, etc.).
Southerners. Or by whatever state you're from. I've been called a hick but that guy was a moron, so. :\

Well, I'm from England. As a Londoner we call northerners skinheads, barbaric and peasants. 😂 Mainly for banter reasons. The northerners call us "southern faries" 😂
(From California) "from the South", rarely "Southerner", "Redneck" when applicable.
southerners. depending on where you live, rednecks, hicks, hillbillies (although, there are differences)
Probably hicks, hillbillies or rednecks. I don't think we have any positive terms other than Southerners.
Lol so southerner's really call us Yankee's? That's so... civil war-y. In New England we literally call you guys "people from the south". No specific name.
Rednecks is the most popular one
I think the term you're looking for is Racists.
I just say "Southern People" 😊
I am not sure... something to do with history/
We generally call them idiots.
White trash

Southern Belles
