Please #boost4reach@hausgeist I know 4 Germans living in the Netherlands reasonably well, but none of them is on Mastodon. I can't very well give you their phone numbers without a good reason. Can they reach your in any other way?

@polarjet You're absolutely right, thank you. Fixed.

@polarjet @hausgeist Honest question, as someone in The Hague, the word 'expat' is still used a lot around here. The problem is that is makes a division between certain groups of foreign workers? Or something else? Thank you for explaining.

@ankedesign @polarjet @hausgeist in the older definition an expat is send by a company. So an International company sends an employee from another country which is an expat from the perspective of the sending country and an impat from the perspective of the recieving country. This is also the definition within Wikipedia.
Another definition that you also find is that expats have legal ground to stay in another country so they don't have to ask for permission.
That is with marriage but within Schengen also covers the other Schengen citizens - like me as a German in NL but also Americans that are here based on DAFT. Usually that also applies to people who are there based on high skilled labor.
It is seen as a problematic term by some few because it tries to separate from people that migrated to another country and that sometimes are referred as refugees.
In that definition expats are white migrants .... And that makes the term problematic.
I have been called an expat by the city of Rotterdam without knowing the difference of the terms. -

@ankedesign in short, yes, that's the problem. The words migrant or foreign worker express the same meaning, but somehow the word 'expat' has been adopted by/assigned to migrants with high income.
Sadly, migration is being criminalised nowadays. I think it's important to choose 'migrant' over 'expat' every now and then so people can understand that being a migrant isn't inherently bad, but just an administrative category.

@polarjet @hausgeist it's also factually incorrect for the EU

Americans and British don't have this right but are give it informally by clueless Europeans
