But “we … For y’all people” absolutely is how they’d say it where I’m from. The quotes around the word read to me like they’re shaming them (which, honestly, in the South, I’m sure I’m sure they are), but the sentence structure itself is perfectly in line with how it’s normally spoken in my experience.

It’s like an extra plural of “you people”, to include a broader range of “you people” instead of the singular plural.
Hopefully the linguist hippies can explain.
