They don’t hate illegal immigrants, they hate the poors
The only ethical illegal immigration is MY illegal immigration!
But if they speak english they aren’t immigrants, they are “expats”.
Ah, casual racism.
I hate the word expat for this exact reason.
When you’re overseas you’re a foreigner by definition, but they see this as a dirty word.
Ridiculous.
Funny side-note, when Chinese people are overseas speaking Chinese, they refer to local people as “foreigners”, which I think is an interesting language quirk. So instead of changing the words they use based on where they are (which I believe is the actual literal meaning of the word they use, “外国人” means "outside country person) they’re instead using it from the perspective of someone who is outside their national identity.
Disclaimer, I do not speak a high level of Chinese.
The Telegraph that was heavily pro-brexit. It’s a shit newspaper, so extremely biased it’s derisorily called the Torygraph. It’s a tabloid newspaper in broadsheet clothes and continues to influence the opinions of it’s elderly readers.
The only good news is that said readers are dying off due to old age.
