The English speaker divides humans into 3 categories:

- White people with the burden (see: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_White_Man's_Burden )

- White people without the burden

- People of colour

When a person in the first category moves to another country, they are an expat; people from the other 2 categories are immigrants or migrants, as they prefer to say nowadays.

For instance I’d have to take a significant pay cut if I wanted to be the British prime minister but, belonging to the second category, I am an economic migrant. An American or Swedish teenager working in a Starbucks in Berlin is an expat.
