 Mo> Y'all is well accepted. "Your people" is taken in a derogatory manner.

I'm not sure how that relates to the past posts in this thread..  And I've never heard anyone say "your people" in place of "y'all".  And I don't think "y'all" is really synonymous with "your people"..  Most often, I hear it in the context of something like "Dinner's ready, y'all", where "your people" wouldn't really work in that kind of sentence.
