    I tend to agree more with CHMacQueen on this subject. I don't believe there is any racial component intended or attached to the use of either word. Just a different way of using the English language. I guess I'm a Expat-Immigrant. However in this country I will always and forever be a Foreigner. I have even had the pleasure of hearing the term foreigner used as a derogatory descriptor, but that is not how the person intended it.
    My wife Lucy explained it to me this way. It depends on the education level of the person and what area of the Ph. they are from. When my wife told her uncle I am an American he asked "American what". He considers all foreigners some kind of American.
    As far as the BI in Manila, After visiting the BI in Cebu last week for my 13A visa. I am pretty sure we are all recognized as walking ATM's running the treadmill of the Express lane :wink:

    This would be the only used context for expat all over europe @ss far as I know.

    I am allway laughing when i see/hear the use of the word expat here in PH/Asia. Not really the upper echelon working class....

    That my Friend is Sooooooooo True. 1 month Extension Dumaguete 1850. Cebu 3840 Included a Fine of 500 and reconsideration 500 Even though I have now a 13a from 2 July but late by 5 days because of a Cock up in the mail room at Manila. I got Hit for an Overstay But Cebu could have fought this fact but chose only to act on the Hard Copy of the Approval and not the email and on line version. Just who trust who here?

    Back to the original post referencing a BBC article, recognize this for what it is: Anti White liberal claptrap.

    Sorry, the Guardian, not BBC. Fellow travelers anyway. One more spin on the "Everyone is a victim (except Whitey)".
