Ah, they probably changed it to match Germany. We call it "Mensch mit Migrationshintergrund".

Actually has little to do directly with ethnicity, which tends to confuse people.

It's not some sort of way to tell who the ethnic Germans are. We have no measure for that.

But, looking around at my childrens' age group, it must be a minority. They don't count. Most of their friends and schoolmates don't count...

It's actually more the case that lots of "migrants" are now essentially lumped in with "bio Germans". So, the definition is expanding, to continue to encompass a majority.

Same way Americans are redefining "white".

ye it becomes kinda meaningless to define someone as migrant after a couple generations deep

idk if it's comparable, ethnicity vs nationality

well eventually they merge and it then depends on who writes the history books what bc og or not i guess

It's very fuzzy logic.

People have always moved around a lot and the borders have shifted.
