They are not hostile or aggressive.

… until you try to open a bank account with them ad a foreigner. Tourists are fine and tolerated but become an expat and you’ll have a much steeper time.

Why do white immigrants often call themselves expats? I’ve never heard anyone who wasn’t a well-off immigrant white guy self-describe that way.

  I’m not sure of why others wouldn’t:
  
  expat /ĕks′pāt′/
  
  noun
  
  An expatriate; a person who lives outside his or her own country.
  
  A person who is voluntarily absent from home or country.
