    adopt the culture of their new home or integrate

    If I do that where I live or anywhere else in Europe I'll be denied citizenship. Not so for another westerner. You're just making my point for me lol. Expat is just a racial/imperial signifier

      I'm not sure why would get your citezenship denied, do you mean it would be revoked in your original country? Maybe I'm tired and misunderstanding you. You make good points and are probably right, the basis of my argument is just that the only people I've ever heard use the word "Expat" to describe themselves are westerners who think cultural integration is beneath them.

        I mean my application for citizenship here. If I thought cultural integration was beneath me I'll be spat on in the streets and my chances of deportation would like double.

        who think cultural integration is beneath them

        which is the most insulting thing you can do. In the west that's expected if not required.
