Someone whose only crime is being from the part of the map you skipped in school.

means A person who belongs to a country or place other than the one they currently find themselves in, judged accordingly by the locals.

from From Old French 'forain' meaning 'strange, foreign, outside,' which traces back to Latin 'foris' meaning 'outside' or 'out of doors' — the same root that gives us 'forest,' originally the land outside the walls. A foreigner, etymologically, is simply someone standing outside the gate, which is a fairly literal way of describing the whole concept of belonging to somewhere else.
