Are you someone who has left their country of birth to move and settle somewhere else, or who is thinking of doing so in the future? What led you to take that decision, or what is making you consider it? What have your experiences been until now, and what do you expect and hope for in the future?
I’m not sure what normie libs would call me. I’m a South Asian-descended US-born person who moved to “canada” a few years ago, with no intention of going back…maybe if total decolonization happens in my lifetime. So am I an expat? Immigrant? Transplant? If I had to choose I would go with “exile”. Fuck libs and their labels.
I am under the impression that use that has been given to the word “expat” is the one of describing the same phenomenon as immigration but without the negative connotation that the word may carry, so I am with you in that.
