Yep. I did stint at a research org in Jakarta run by an American dood who had been there for at least 20 years. He didn't speak a fucking word of Indonesian and didn't care.

Did he expect to be considered a member of Indonesian society, treated equally to the local population, allowed to vote, and stay indefinitely? Also, did he arrive there in conformance with their immigration laws or did he break their laws to stay there?

what you're talking about doesn't disprove the OP at all, it just supplements it

white expats who never learn the local language are just as niggery and subhuman as the brown people who immigrate to the US and do the same thing. everyone hates the white expats who are like that, locals and integrated white expats alike. they're total niggers who are resented and only tolerated to the extent that they infuse money into the local economy

these guys were invariably huge losers back home in the white countries that they came from, just like their brownoid counterparts mentioned in the OP

Locals definitely looked at this guy that way. They called him "jorok," which translates to "slovenly" in English. He was a chain smoker who never flicked his cigarette ashes, he just let them grow an inch long and fall wherever his right hand was at that moment. It could be over a wastepaper basket. It often was.

He didn't care. He had a house full of servants, including cooks who would make him scambled eggs with bacon and toast for breakfast.
