And don't get me started on "economic migrants" BS!
"Economic migrant" is the correct term for an "expat". I am an economic migrant, born in Poland, living in Iceland, and proud of it.
I hate the term "expat" with a passion of a thousand suns. I find it racist, used to artificially differentiate between rich, predominantly white, Northern-born people moving freely and comfortably wherever they want; and destitute, predominantly BIPOC people forced to risk their lives to secure livelihood.
