“Immigrant” should become a positive term, full of richness and culturally more interesting and meaningful than a person living in the same place since birth. I sometimes call myself an immigrant and I laugh. I would feel an immigrant even if I’d move back to the place where I was born and grew up. I am such a more complex and different person nowadays.
It is a multifaceted and multilayered term, and I think unique to every experience depending on the type of immigration as well, but absolutely, it should not be a negative term in any way.
No, I agree with your choice to keep the title. Multilingualism in any shape and form can provide resistance against invisibility, eradication, and the broligarchy/bros that want to demolish the planet for a buck.
