中國“外地人”有中國特色,除了地域造成的原因外,還包含了經濟地位和文化背景等因素。英文沒有能確切表達“外地人”的字,據網上字典,在不同場合可以說visitor, traveler, tourist, stranger, outlander, from out of town, outsider等,都反映不出中國“外地人”低人一等的社會地位。另一個字典包括了foreigner,在當今反移民的氣候下,倒是有點“外地人”的味道。
我從來沒有給 Obama and Hillary 投票過,曾經兩次投票給Trump, 還會投Trump, 他是我們的希望去改變現狀。

如果你自己將自己當成“外地人”,不是美國人,你就會站在毛那裏的角度,反對Trump.
Trump 前幾天在紐約的rally 演講: 無論什麽膚色,我們都是美國人,團結起來。

I've lived in NC for 13 years, never heard of Hertford. It's located on the border of Virginia and NC, on the Northeast side. I live in the center of the state, southeast of Raleigh.
I never felt like an outsider in this state, because I lived in Georgia for 12 years before moving here. So I've lived in the South for more than half my life, it's totally my home now. I feel surprised that some Chinese expats feel like outsiders after living in the same environment for decades. People ask about the originality of others out of curiosity.The only people that would ask where you came from are the people that you see often, like at the work place, church or synagogue. After seeing you many times, people would feel more comfortable with the question out of curiosity. Partly because the American population is so diverse, people are from everywhere in the world, it's a very natural question to ask. Mr.Trump, to me, is just another politician. I'm not worried too much about him. I've voted for him twice and next time, I'd still vote for him. Why? Because I don't like either Hilary Clinton or Sleepy Joe. I'd rather vote for Trump than for those people. There was one time, I had to choose between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. I hated them both! Politicians all suck.
