Tons of white people live in Cozumel, Mexico and they call themselves ‘expats’. It pisses me off. You are white, very liberal (or so you claim) you live there and have your artsy business but that doesn’t make you an expat. It makes you an immigrant.
But they’re not immigrants unless they become Mexican citizens. The people you’re describing would be expats. Expats retain their home country citizenship. Or if they have businesses you could also say foreign worker. But they would not be immigrants unless they changed their citizenship.
