That'll do me! (for what it's worth, I know the actual definition of expat and how it differs from immigrant... I just like being one because I'm not expected to be one!)

I know a (white) guy from california that tells me how he used a deliveroo style service to get his prescription marijuana (gained easily) delivered to his door. And all the while there are black people rotting in prison for possession of a joint's worth 🤷

I notice this anytime I'm in Paris. I swear a typical Parisienne is a mixed race woman with an afro called Sophie
I guarantee you'll see her everywhere next time you go!

Indeed. We know the benidorm type, but in a city like Barcelona, which is full of transient people from all over the world, the term they use is expat community. To refer to the dictionary with a well actually doesn't change the fact that this is the umbrella term that unites us 👍

Incidentally, I was born in Bangladesh and spent my whole life in UK battling against people who refused to accept I was British. I'd like to think you're not one of those who'd dismiss that plight by saying "yeah but you're still an immigrant"
I hope you see the callous route this can go down

There's a whole community that calls itself an expat community and they don't really care about the dictionary. I get you feel strongly about it but names are names and people identify with that name and saying well this is not really a blue sky doesn't stop this from being bluesky 😘
