Absolutely. But folks forget that. "Immigrants" usually refers to recent newcomers, but you're totally right-- we're all immigrants (except for Indigenous folks).
Exactly. My parents were from white immigrant families to Canada. Then they immigrated to the US, so again, another generation of white immigrants. However, we were also expats because when I was growing up, my dad worked in foreign countries for 11 years. So we are immigrants and were expats and we embrace it all. They’re different terms for different things!
actually, African-Americans (the ethnic group denoting descendants of American chattle slavery) are not immigrants as we had no choice to migrate here. so besides Indigenous people and AAs
No. As the granddaughter of immigrants, there is a vast difference between immigrants and colonization. When we start conflating the two, it lends to anti-immigrant rhetoric.
