377. The term "third world" is racist. You should stop using it.
Tuesday, 30 December, 2025
This is the subject of my next book "Trigger Words." The original term was created in 1952 as part of the Cold War terminology The Cold War ended. Now the term is used in a racist way to describe non-western countries in a way that looks at them as uncivilized as being worthy of coming to live in the western world. Just look at Stephen Miller's recent posts over the holidays to show how the term is used today. It is racist. It is disrespected and it needs to go. What do you think?
