    if that’s the case, why are white rich british people retiring in the french countryside called expats, but temporary foreign workers aren’t?

      Technically that’s what I’ve heard it means. But yes we all know that it’s white people that use the term because they don’t want to call themselves immigrants.

      Isn’t “retiring” in conflict with “worker”?
