Sir, – Paul Lavin (Letters, February 17th) suggests the term “expats” is used by Caucasians who consider themselves to be better when compared with “immigrants”.
An expat is a person working abroad for a temporary period, often for the same employer, who retains their citizenship and often a home in their own country and intends to return. They can be of any race or ethnicity and differ from immigrants. – Yours, etc,
