Envy would imply an element of animosity towards a person who has more, with a degree of pleasure taken in seeing that same person being brought down a peg or two, a feeling which I personally don't have towards anyone here no matter what their background. By the same token, I don't think envy would correctly describe the attitude that CEPs have towards their expat counterparts. It's not about getting more just because the next guy has it, it's about getting what should be and is common value. Unless of course, you think a CEP is beneath the worth of that common value and deserves less?
