Why is it that white people are called "expats", and the rest of us immigrants?
>>
>>29461483
They're not. They're called immigrants.
>>
its not the fault of white people if other cultures don't come up with widely known names for their own immigrants

I mean in retrospect, if you did this intentionally, this is a very subtle attack on white people using a moral high horse that relies on a lot of false preconceptions sjws like to use

>the rest of us
Speak for yourself nigger, expats are called expats because people like having them around. But nobody wants undesirable sandniggers coming into their country shitting the place up.
>>
Because white people come to the US to find work
>>
>>29461494
No they are not. They always, always refer to them as expats.

>>29461607
So do a lot of non-white people, but they refer to them as "economic immigrants".

Are Asian people moving to western countries called expats?
Are Indian people moving to western countries called expats?
Both of these ethnicities are known to be hard working and aren't known for making rape gangs in the west. Why aren't they called expats?

>>29461691
Because they aren't white...why is it so hard for you to understand people like familiarity. This goes back to tribal days and is part of our genetic code for survival purposes.
>>
>>29461483
I think it had more to do with wealth than race
An Eastern european living in the west is called an immigrant, although he's white
A rich qatari living in a luxurious flat in the west is called an expat, although he is not white

>>29461691
whites arent going anywhere by the millions though

>why is it so hard for you to understand people like familiarity
White people living in Asia aren't called immigrants, but expats, and white people aren't familiar in Asia.
>>
>>29461483
An immigrant is a foreigner wanting to come live in your country or already living there.
An expat is a person from your country who's living abroad, permanently or temporarily.

It depends on whether or not the immigrant/expat is a foreigner of from the same country as you. White people will naturally refer to their own as expats even though they might be seen as immigrants from the point of view of the country they move to.

>White people living in Asia aren't called immigrants, but expats
Are you sure the Asians themselves don't call them immigrants?
>>
>>29461850

>>
>>29461483
>expat
someone in a country temporarily, but for longer than a typical vacation
>immigrant
someone moving to a country permanently

>>29462005
An expat can be living outside their native country permanently. Your definition is flawed.
