> Don't use the word expat, it just means white immigrant. This always was such a silly argument. "Expat" means someone in a well-compensated position living in a different country, usually sent by a multinational corporation, who expects to move back to their country of origin once their term is over. "Immigrant" means someone who expects to settle in their new country permanently. Usually the latter group is not paid as well as the former, due to the incentives involved; for the most part, well-paid people living in places that are good to live in don't want to relocate themselves permanently elsewhere.
