RE: The Difference Between an Expat & an Immigrant
You raise a good point - they are not mutually exclusive! Expat literally translates as 'Gone out from one's country' - but words are fluid and the more we can change them to be offensive, the better, I say.
Well, it comes from Latin "ex patria" and means from and/or out of the fatherland".
