Do the Americans not realise that… like every single one of them going back 4-5 generations are immigrants? Very few native Americans are out there because of immigration.
Most Americans realize this, but our government doesn’t give a shit what we think right now. Trump and the GOP are not representing us.
Look at Greenland. 75% of Americans oppose what Trump is doing with that topic. That’s disgustingly low, too… But still, he does it anyway.
This isn’t new. Most Americans have no agency. We’re just a few notches above slave labor at this phase. All we can do is vote, but the wealthy are influencing those votes all over the country with money and propaganda.
For every sane person speaking out, there’s two to three others that have given up on everything. They’ll just watch the news and do what it says. Or, worse, a massive percentage of Americans don’t do anything. They don’t vote, they just take it because they’ve given up completely on everything outside the ongoing crisis that is their lives.
Which is stupid because their ancestors aren’t from this land. And millions of “not-whites” were forced to come here! Not that they will ever understand that.
Just as most Americans who have moved to other countries refuse to call themselves immigrants, and default to calling themselves “expats”, most don’t seem to get that, no.
An expat is anyone who lives outside of their native country while intending to return, while an immigrant is someone who moves to another country permanently.
One reason why you rarely hear about American “immigrants” to other countries is that it is absurdly hard to relinquish US citizenship. So even if an American were to gain citizenship elsewhere, they still owe US income tax, and are reminded of their status every April.

It’s not about imigration. Only brown and black are “imigrants”.
…although even white women are being killed now
Even they are being snatched off streets and “detained”.
They’re arresting and detaining the actual native Americans too. Because they really want a Christo-fascist white state, not a native one.
That’s why they want to import the racists from South Africa.
Yes, the majority of us do.
This is the 21st century version of Manifest Destiny. Their immigrant status doesn’t matter because they’re white and therefore superior.
The people calling for these atrocities and committing them are white supremacists. What is happening is exactly what they want to happen.
No.
Too many Americans think “immigrant” is just a synonym for “not white”.
Which is stupid because their ancestors aren’t from this land. And millions of “not-whites” were forced to come here! Not that they will ever understand that.
Not to mention that ICE is frequently abducting Native Americans because they’re brown

Isn’t an expat usually somebody who is sent abroad for work by his employee?
An expat is anyone who lives outside of their native country while intending to return, while an immigrant is someone who moves to another country permanently.

White = Expat
Anything else = Immigrant
It’s really that simple
Sure, but that only seems to apply to Americans, and in some parts Brits.
It is less of a US thing, and more of a class thing. Expats are temporary work assignments overseas usually for high paying leadership positions.
An expat is an immigrant who is white.
