It’s a weird thing. Yes, the world is changing and there is going to be a lot more migration.
At the same time, a person from these other countries simply can’t just up and go somewhere else.
In the past, an expat was someone who moved to other parts of the world in Asia or elsewhere with an expat package, paid for by their foreign company or a local govt sponsoring them on a project. It usually came with housing, private school fees, and a hardship stipend (more money than they would make back home).
It’s hard to see this current slate of bad English teachers and tropical fruit influencers (an actual thing) as anything similar to that. (To be clear there are good English teachers. They tend to also come with a package)
