instead of "immigrant" consider using "person who has immigrated"

Because turning one word into four, while still using the root word immigrate is super efficient and promotes clarity in writing. Tards.

I'm told, under good authority, that they stole their entire catalog from a more talented Musician of Color. So it's cool.

Just like how saying People of Color is apparently better than saying Colored People. Fucking insane Newspeak bullshit.
