No worries, I'm not offended since the term has no real derogatory conotation. It comes from the US Civil war, when Union soldiers were called "Yankees" by their Confederate counterparts.
Now some of my Brit friends might be put off by the acronym "POHM" or "POMMY" since it implies that our cousins across the pond are "Prisoners Of Her Majesty" (which may be true to some extent) and it harkens back to times when Australia was a penal colony.
One of my motorcycle mates is a New Zealander, and we affectionately refer to him as "Kiwi" which he likes and and isn't put off by it in the least.
