I am saying this because people do take offense on the 3rd world monicker. In many fields that term is considered offensive when used in public discourse. This is not a joke. What a group perceives as normal speech may be a term that in other circles is considered bad and better terms and classifications might be in place
- philovivero 10y agoI think only citizens of third-world countries are offended by the third-world monicker. It is englightening to note that a false insult is usually shrugged off, and a true insult usually taken to heart. The trick is to notice when the insult is true and modify your behaviour so that the insult is no longer applicable.
- powera 10y agoYou can't just declare a common word to be offensive and get offended when people use it in a normal context and expect to have a reasonable conversation.
