    That’s the American centric definition, yes. Why are you continuing to choose an antiquated and selfish definition?

    The only ones I see using it are Americans, so they can continue to believe they aren’t third world.

    Only Americans use that word. The rest of the world knows how selfish and wrong it is.

      I literally said the term is stupid and nobody should use it. I’m not advocating for it because it isn’t a good definition. Also, having developing nations classified as a part of the “lesser world” is not good at all!

      Again, I would avoid using “first world” and “third world”
