If Romney goes 'China-bashing' in Canton, Ohio, how would these 'Cantonese' take it?

I have this fascination with demonyms -- formal and informal names given to residents of geographical areas. Demonyms can range from towns to countries, eg., someone from the city of Liverpool, England, is a Liverpudlian; someone from Sydney, Australia, is a Sydneysider; someone from Burkina Faso is a Burkinian.

I have posted previous blog entries on this topic and had told myself to do at least one on the wide "repertoire" in the United States, such as figuring out how to call someone from Hell (apparently there's one in California and one in Michigan).

But what piqued me today was this picture and its caption in TODAY (13 March):

It seems that Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, desperate to burnish his "tough on China" image in economically-hit Ohio state, decided to make those remarks, as quoted above.

He was in Canton, Ohio. I do not know how that place-name came about. But the residents there would be Cantonese, no?

I'll do some research before I attempt, on another occasion,  a fuller exploration of unusual American demonyms. Anyone care to provide me with some of the more unusual places?

For starters, Wikipedia has compiled a listing for US states:

If this list is reliable, Alaskans are unofficially "Ice Chippers" and Delawareans are "Blue Hen's Chickens".

Finally, if you want to read the TODAY commentary by Edward Luce that came with the picture above, here it is ("Welcome to the new China-bashing"):
