Garbage article - amazed it got published actually.
More liberal white guilt...trying to see a race issue where there isn't one.
An expat goes somewhere temporarily to work.
An immigrant moves somewhere permanently - job or no job.
Easy.
A black person moving from Zimbabwe to Japan to work for Sony is an expat.
A white person packing up shop and heading to Guatemala to retire is an immigrant.
Skin color doesn't come into it for anyone but the most annoying, uber-PC twats.


It's not as simple as that. Poles, Romanians, Bulgarians etc... going to the UK are always called immigrants, even though a lot of them return to their home countries after a few years. As I said before, it's not a question of race but I think it is connected with national status.
