non-national is a bullshit description.

I correct anybody I hear using it, will loudly interrupt them if necessary.

use foreign national or foreigner.

someone in my office who uses 'non national' also says 'coloured'.

Me: 'what the fuck is wrong with the word black?'

Cunthole bitch: 'I thought black isn't very PC nowadays'

Describing people by what they're not is great fun.

From now on I'm writing my nationality on forms as non-foreign.

Exactly, which is why it doesn't really matter what foreigners get called, by being defined by what we are 'not' (i.e. Irish) there's never going to be a term that really works.

Muffin, haven't heard the 'international newcomer' thing before. Sounds a bit, I dunno, like a horse or something, doesn't it?

I mean, international newcomers? I'm not a newcomer. I've been here a long time -- at what point do I cease to be 'new'? When I become a citizen, which I will probably never be allowed to do? And then, I've been here longer than most primary school students have been alive -- so how come I'm new and they're not?

Then I'm wondering about these 'international newcomer' children who were, uh, born in Ireland. Or they came here as a baby and don't know any other home?

I'd rather just be called Jane. But if someone wants a term for me, I think foreigner is just fine. Or immigrant. I don't care, really.

we've been told to use international newcomer for essays and stuff in college as non national is an offensive term..

International newcomer makes it sound like they're pop stars.

They're not, are they?

Didn't you hear? Foreigners not only get free cars and fancy mansions, they also get record contracts.

If you were born on a ship in interntional waters then you could be described as a non-national.

Nothing wrong with non national except for the fact it is gibberish. But "international newcomer" is just as meaningless.

in one of the projects i'm working on people are starting to use the words 'immigrant' and 'migrant' interchangeably. It's getting quite confusing. I prefer migrant because immigrant seems to have such a negative connotation in Ireland these days. Also, it's amazing the amount of people who will tell you all about how 'de blacks' are scamming the whole country and yet still could net tell you the difference between an asylum seeker and a refugee.

 

[Mormon Nailer]

I though migrant would have a connotation of impermanence. Like going abroad for seasonal work.
