Swarthy people from offshore islands have to be "immigrants". They can't be citizens or the discourse collapses and you have to start counting them as human beings. I was struck by this during coverage of the 1998 World Cup when antillais players on the French football team were described as immigrants by American commentators. How you immigrate into your own country, I want to know.
