Is it rude to call a foreign person in your country an “alien”?

Question

Answer

Considering alien is the term we use for outer space people/beings i'd definitely consider it rude.

Answer

How is it not?

Answer

It’s not wrong in definition, but alien is often used when referring to an illegal alien, which nobody likes to be called. There are definitely a lot of other words that could be used instead.

Answer

Mmm yea. No that it matters if you say it, but I am an immigrant and I would be so weirded out if someone called me an alien 😂😂😂😂😂. Ild probably laugh no gonna lie.

Answer

Just use the term immigrant ? It’s the same amount of syllables. Not that hard to show respect ppl.

Answer

Weird maybe unless you’re saying illegal alien. Why would you use alien instead of immigrant?

Answer

It sounds funny to me more than offensive it’s not really saying anything bad about the person but foreign is the proper term
