[quote=TRAVELLERMIKE,228422]As a foreigner, I have no objection to being called so, not so sure I would like to be called 'long-nose' (despite having one), as it is to close to 'picking on' personal physical features, often seen as impolite in western society. 'Ex-pat' refers I think specifically to people who have moved to live permanently abroad from their home-land, and 'Westerner' implies mind-set as well as land of origin. Overall 'foreigner' is probably least offensive, at least from my perspective in england.[/quote]
