immigrant ★☆☆☆☆
(transfer) + (folk) = 移民 (immigrant )

immigrant (only applies to people who became Japanese citizens and generally their families live here for generations)(i.e. not you)

Countries like America, UK, or Brazil are 移民国 (いみんこく- immigrant countries), built by immigrants. Japan, like most of the world, still thinks of citizenship as blood and DNA.

So if you're coming from the USA, remember your open-minded point-of-view is a small minority!
