http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_world#Definition
In academic circles, the countries of the Third World are known as the “Global South”, the “developing countries”, and the “under-developed countries”.
By the way, so are you admitting defeat on the “racist behaviors” argument you had earlier in the thread since you have since learned that third world does not denote a specific race?
Wikipedia wrote:
Some developers disapprove of the “developing countries” term because the term implies that industrialization is progressive.

The petroleum-rich countries (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, etc.) and the new industrial countries (India, Malaysia, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico etc.) have little in common with poor countries (Haiti, Chad, Afghanistan, etc.).

Third World, general designation of economically developing nations. The term arose during the cold war, when two opposing blocs—one led by the United States (first), the other led by the USSR (second)—appeared to dominate world politics. Within this bipolar model, the Third World consisted of economically and technologically less developed countries belonging to neither bloc. Originated by the Martinique-born Marxist writer Frantz Fanon, the designation was essentially negative and not always accepted by the countries concerned. Although political and economic upheavals in the late 1980s and early 1990s marked the collapse of the Soviet power bloc, “Third World” remains a useful label for a conglomeration of countries otherwise difficult to categorize.
*ahem*

wow I am so generalizing, and I would like you to quote and show me the text where I do that

The Third World displays little homogeneity; it is divided by race, religion, culture, and geography, as well as frequently opposite interests. It generally sees world politics in terms of a global struggle between rich and poor countries—the industrialized North against the backward South.

I disagree
it’s not about the 3rd world children getting more respect but actually deserving it a lot more
now I wanted locked because of a very logical reason
and I don’t get tired of saying this
racist behavior like that feeds courage to then post topics like these:
“How to have sex with third world children”
“How to overwork third world children”
now I know this is already staring to take effect
a member posted
“3rd world children with boners”
Is that appropriate?
no it’s not
aside from being offensive it denigrates MvC face to new members
it rots and gives MvC a bad look
that’s the reason this place is DYING!!

NO !
It’s African , Asian countries !
The point is, look at the racial makeup of the categories. Now you may call me 'racist' for ASKING such categorization, but to show the hypocrisy, i just have to.
and then look closer, first world..
NO AFRICAN (And even in South Africa.. no natives)
ALMOST NO ASIAN (cept for Japan maybe)
and technically .. they are suffering BECAUSE of you
Almost all the countries were colonies of European countries (the usual first world)
The “third world” would have much better off without the first world, then again no one’s complaining.. just stay off their babies, they’ve faced enough bullshit already. (especially Africa, you BOUGHT AND SOLD their people.. thats like a disgrace to humanity.

So the fact that a certain few CONTINENTS make up a grouping like “3rd World” makes talking about it a race topic? No. First off, Because 3rd world only applies to underdeveloped countries (the majority of who makes this up aside), there is no set race. South Americans are not of the same race as people from Africa. Talking about people from the United States isn’t about race, since there is no race for people from the US.
You bring up that they are “suffering”. There’s quite the generalization. So all people from 3rd world countries are suffering huh? Sure, nevermind that countries that are doing fine are 3rd world (Mexico, most South American countries). They are ALL SUFFERING. Except, you know, they’re not. Not all 3rd world children work in sweat shops.
also
you BOUGHT AND SOLD their people.. thats like a disgrace to humanity.
I love this part mostly because of the emphasis on “you”. See, normally if it was just a normal “you” it would imply “white people”. However with the emphasis, it implies you are talking directly to me. So pretty much, you’re saying that I bought and sold Africans for money into slavery? Nice logic. You can’t label an entire group of people by what they did in the past. Hell, in a lot of African tribes cannibalism was a common thing. Fuck, it still might be.
Quit your bellyaching. Honestly, no one cares and you’re making yourself look like a little bitch.

I like how you’re telling me how I think. Funny, because I don’t think about African or Asian people, I think about any poor country, one stricken with poverty. The fact that many may be African or Asian does not come to mind, because that’s NOT important. What is important is that they are people who are in need.
The point is, look at the racial makeup of the categories. Now you may call me 'racist' for ASKING such categorization, but to show the hypocrisy, i just have to.
Or maybe you can just realize you’re not completely right here and maybe support the idea that third world countries are filled with disadvantaged people, not races. This racist bullshit will stop once we start accepting other races and quit looking at them as a race and instead as a person, unless when dealing with cultural differences, basic description, and the few genetic differences.
ALMOST NO ASIAN (cept for Japan maybe)
Japan, maybe? They are definitely first world, being one of the most powerful economic countries right now. And you can’t forget about South Korea, which is probably the most wired country in the world, making them technologically more advanced, at least in the social area, than even us or Japan. As for the rest of Asia, not so much.
The “third world” would have much better off without the first world, then again no one’s complaining.. just stay off their babies, they’ve faced enough bullshit already. (especially Africa, you BOUGHT AND SOLD their people.. thats like a disgrace to humanity.
No, I didn’t. Maybe some of my ancestors did, or maybe not, but I can’t change that. I may not like it, but I can’t do anything about it. I can only help make sure the mistakes are rectified. And besides, Africans actually sold their own people to Europeans, since most were too scared to enter the country, so I’d say both are pretty bad. Nevermind that Arabs also dealt in slavery in Africa before the Europeans, so its not all “our” fault.
