Why are white people expats and the rest of us are "immigrants"?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Not sure, but is it something to do with washing their hands after they've been to the toilet?
Seriously also, ???

I guess the term 'expat' is used to kindly describe a Brit who spends a reasonable amount of time away in another foreign country, having not left Britain behind.

However, he would become an immigrant if he lost his citizenship and adopted the new country as home.
