They mean brown people
Yes because if you’re white you’re an expat and if you’re brown you’re an immigrant
Interestingly - North Korea exists, but also many of the most successful countries only take a minute number of immigrants, and only very highly skilled or very rich ones. E.g luxembourg, switzerland, monaco(?) and Singapore.
This is because they don’t tend to have “gaps to fill” in the economy/workforce and are very small.
I think it’s accurate to say that those countries are where people want to move to the most, though, so it is a common desire. The fact that yiu woukd be one of the onky immigrants there is part of the appeal
Switzerland has about 25% foreigners and in Luxembourg the Portuguese minority alone is 15-20%
There is still freedom of movement for workers between the EU and Switzerland.
The GDP per capita of those countries are skewed because most of the workers live outside the city state and commute in. You’re just seeing the GDP benefits that cities have over rural areas.

Antarctica is pretty exclusive.
True. The population of indigenous people is very stable
I was briefly tempted by a winterover job there. It’d be a pay cut, plus a year and a half of continuous winter, and I’m not totally convinced that the U.S. would still exist by the time they’re supposed to pick us up.
The rape sexual assault vibe is a bit of a problem though.
Huh?
THE RAPE SEXUAL ASSAULT VIBE IS A BIT OF A PROBLEM THOUGH.
Edit: but seriously, it’s a real issue down there.
what??
Lots of sex pests in Antarctica.
Because of the implication?
This hurt my brain
It’ll hurt more when you understand some people actually, without a hint of irony, believe that.
“Im not an immigrant, I’m an expat”
Yo for real though. Even though I was born with UK citizenship, I didn’t grow up here and I don’t really fit in. It was hard at first, but life immediately made more sense when I mentally dropped the expat thing and started fully thinking of myself as an immigrant. I never did fit in in America anyway, so I have the mental framework in place already.
Isn’t the whole thing with expats is that they explicitly keep their US citizenship? Most the self described expats I know are overseas military that married a local so my perspective may be skewed here.
Yes perhaps, but once my family has their UK citizenships sorted out, getting rid of our US citizenship is going to become a realistic option.
