In my experience it depends what colour the expat is!!!
As a brown brit, you wouldn't believe the problems I have faced. Here are just a few.
1. Police harassment
2. Old ladies clutching their handbags closely when I happen to walk by.
3, Being stared at! (or does that happen to everyone in this country).
On one occasion I walked into a coffee bar and a guy had wondered away from his chair on the back of which he had hung his jacket, as soon as he saw me he moved sharpishly to stand guard beside his jacket! Probaly the sharpest he's moved in his life!
Shall I go on?
