Why are white people expats when the rest of us are immigrants?
Surely any person going to work outside their country is an expatriate? But no, the word exclusively applies to white people

The Dutch tax authority use these definitions, because expats get a tax reduction working in The Netherlands.
Expat, knowledge migrant or labor migrant?
An expat is someone who works for an international organization and is placed in another country for a longer period of time. These can be people from inside or outside the European Union.
A knowledge migrant is a highly educated person who comes to work here because of his specialist knowledge. Unlike expats, knowledge migrants start working for a completely new employer. Knowledge migrants can also come from outside the EU.
A labor migrant is usually a less educated person, both from within and outside Europe. Migrant workers do not come to work here because of their specialist knowledge, but usually do physical work in the e.g. horticulture, distribution or construction sector.

Funny, I have heard Indonesians refer to themselves as expats while living in other countries. Granted, I have not heard any migrant worker interviews so I don't know what they refer to themselves as.

Funny, I (not white, my hairs is starting to turn white) refer my self as TKI as per PP No. 3 2023 - not sure if still valid, but I like and proud this term; though my company - an Anglo Dutch IOC hires and keep me as expatriate for almost 20 years.
Also funny, in some host country, they refer me as expert expat
any way, I dont care with the terms as long as they pay me with international base salary and all benefits as international staff.

Simple, no ? I used to be one for 25 years. Now I am an immigrant pensioner in Indonesia.
And considered an emigrant from my country.
People who are employed with local contracts, we called them "local expats".
Contract conditions VERY different.....

Let’s Start by not Using “Expat” - A-id
ust as preferred gender pronouns are intended to promote equity and inclusion for transgender and genderqueer people, we should also think of our migration vocabulary as a way to dignify people from diverse backgrounds on the move and to de-colonize our knowledge.

Expatriate or Immigrants. The POV from BBC Indonesia: What is the difference between expatriates and refugees or immigrants?
www.bbc.com
Whether referred to as expatriates or immigrants, the Indonesian Ministry of Manpower adopts a unified approach when it comes to employment in Indonesia. There's no distinct categorization for foreign workers, whether it is immigrant or expatriate workers; instead, they are collectively termed as foreign workers, known as Tenaga Kerja Asing (TKA).
While many expatriates engage in work within Indonesia, a notable proportion, such as retirees or those marrying Indonesian citizens, do not actively participate in the workforce.

I was of course being sarcastic and referring to the long history of sending willing and unwilling transmigrants to the outer islands.
What were the details of that proposal? A thousand hectares isn’t significant considering demand.
