I always thought expats had to live in little expat communities, keeping themselves aloof from the rest of the population. It’s a level of snobbery beyond even still caring where you’re originally from. That was my understanding from all the little compounds I saw in the global south.
I agree, that’s why I went with typically, but many aren’t allowed to live near the future “expats” so that property values aren’t negatively impacted.
Typically “expat” communities are much wealthier. Poor white immigrants live in pretty shit conditions too and the areas are considered ghettos, at least historically
For those unaware, an expat is an immigrant, but white.

I mean some people typically called immigrants do that too
Typically because that’s where they’re ALLOWED to live.
I mean income directs it a bunch but some communities are just very insular and like to keep to themselves.

When brown, they are inmigrantes anda those are ghettos. When white, they are expats in expat communities.

Don’t forget to mention why they left their own country.
I think Japan also gets ‘Expat’ credentials too.
