    That’s really food for thought. I’m amazed how only a few words can be provocative. Lots of talking about fighting racism and defending equal rights. The truth is that words can unveil the hyprocrisy that is still widespread. And the distinction between ‘expats’ and ‘immigrants’ is a great example…

    Uh-oh…I can't tell if that's a bad thing or a good thing.

    You could not be anymore right! Eye-opening! Also, as a teacher, we have discussed a loud group of student congregating in a hallway is a group of loud students; for students “color color” it is called a gang. We still have a long way to go to have equality and untainted points of view.

    It's very interesting how we can still see discrimination in words. Do you have any more examples? I'm actually very curious to see what other terms there are that connotate prejudice.

    Perhaps one is by economic choice and the other by economic pressure?
