why is it when black people move from say, africa to a european or american country, they are refered to as immigrants. but when white people move from this country to spain or australia, for good(never coming back) they refer to themselves as expats. is it because the hate mail and other right wing loonies have managed to demonise the word immigrant, to such an extent that it stands an immigrant is seen as a burden, scrounging, unwanted, useless and non white. so therefore there is no way they're gonna call themselves immigrants.mad-moonie

Good thread. I will respond in greater detail at a later time.
