There is a piece doing the rounds on facebook at the moment, so I guess some of you have seen it
:http://www.theguardian.com/global-development-professionals-network/2015/mar/13/white-people-expats-immigrants-migration
migration
Basically the piece is asking why white people are called expats, whilst everyone else is an immigrant or a guest worker. So, since this is the Expat.com, I thought I'd ask what you think
I hadn't really thought about it before, but I since most people I meet from this blog are not white, I just thought Expat was someone working away from home and there was no racial pre-requisite.
Am I just being blind as a white guy? Speaking from.ignorant privalege?
Anyway, hope no offence caused, I think we are all expats regardless of origin, (except the indonesians who came home, since you would be repats, repatriated)
