In the European Union, "extracomunitarian" is a formally defined title that applies to all non-European Union citizens.[1] While this technically includes citizens of non-Third World nations as the United States, Australia, Canada, or Switzerland, the word is often overtoned to refer to migrants that legally or illegally enter Europe from developing countries,[2] and hence mostly used in reference to issues such as discrimination (and integration) of immigrants, migrant workers,[3] immigration laws, and multi-ethnic society.[4] Likewise, the word is sometimes used improperly to include foreign people that share some of the social conditions typical of extracomunitarian migrants, even when they are not technically extracomunitarian; the most typical case is that of Romani people from Romania, which are sometimes mistakenly labelled as "extracomunitarian" even by official sources such as the ANSA Italian news agency.[5] Due to its implications, and depending on context, the term may be used with derogatory intent, or perceived as derogatory.[6]
