While there is inherent bias in our language, and that should most certainly be addressed in public, I really don’t think this is the hill to die on.

So should we just stop discussing it? When it affects you directly and consistently, it’s not so simple as “brushing it off.”

Isn't expat the term for people who live abroad because of their jobs? So they have a job before migration and only migrate because of that job?

Half truth are lies too! You clearly know nothing about either of the world wars or you’d know that that people of ALL colors participated, NO ONE talks about Christian Galley Slavery, and that’s barely scratching the surface of the pile of crap that just fell from your jaws.
