I think Californians are a breed of their own ... you've got your Southerners, your Yankees, your Texans, your Midwesterners, your Southwesterners, your Rocky Mountain people, your Californians, your Hawaiians, and your Alaskans. Those are pretty much your regions.

But if a Californian moved to Georgia, then people who didn't know they were from CA would probably just call them a Yankee at first as a blanket term for American-obviously-not-from-the-South. Then, unable to use the Yankee term, people would probably just call the Californian a transplant instead of a Yankee transplant.
