  1. I wish people would stop misusing the phrases “3rd World” and “1st World” if they are discussing economic development of a country or region. If you want to discuss economic development, just use “Developed”, “Developing”, or “Undeveloped”. Or use whatever schema that corresponds to economics, material prosperity, or lack of it. “Third World” was a political label given to non-aligned countries during the Cold War. There was the First World, the Western Democracies opposed to the Communist Bloc. There was the Second World, the Communist Bloc that sought to overthrow capitalism and the Western Democracies. And there was the Third World, which were those countries that didn’t want to take sides during the Cold War, that wanted to pursue their own interests. The obsolete phraseology has picked up a lot of racist baggage over the years, used to describe non-white cultures, societies, and countries disparagingly. This is why certain white politicians will call Miami “like a Third World Country” (I think it was Pat Buchanan that said that during his run for the GOP presidential nomination). If a person is racist, they should stop hiding behind words. Just be racist. Show the courage of your racist convictions instead of cowardly using code words. Trump gave you permission to say whatever stupid dumbass thing popped into your pea brain. To be fair, I hear this misuse of language from socialists and progressive democrats all the time, too. It certainly undermines my confidence that “their revolution” will somehow magically solve racism.
