kind of losing my mind over the semantics of expat vs immigrant
#'expat is what white immigrants are called bc racism' okay but like it's not so simple.#according to some people the distinction is whether you move as a lifestyle choice or because your home country is messed up#but according to others it's about whether it's permanent or temporary. short-term or long-term#the whole 'white=expat; poc=immigrant' thing is not universal at all. here in the gulf this doesn't apply???#no one is called an immigrant here
