ever seen an asian/middle eastern/indian expat in australia? of course not, they are from 3rd world countrie's and therefore should be labled immigrant's/scabs, even though many of them hold proper professional jobs.
LOL! Amazing and very relevant reply. Of course us westerners will justify it as 'being highly skilled' and 'we're there to show them how it's done', however 'they're taking our jobs' if easterners come here to work in the roles that locals don't want to. The term 'Expat' needs to disappear. I wonder if Aussies are being referred to as 'expats' in the USA? Pretty sure they're being referred to as E3 visa holders.
