This is Hacker News, where we strive to be factually correct, not politically correct.
- senthil_rajasek 10y agoHN comments guidelines say that you should be civil. Being politically incorrect is not civil. Again, "third world" is not a politically correct term.
- unlinker 10y ago>Being politically incorrect is not civil. That is a false premise, especially taking into account the parent comment didn't intend to use "third world country" in a malicious but in a factually correct way.
- senthil_rajasek 10y agoI am quoting the very first comment guideline. "Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face-to-face conversation." I live in the U.S, I would never say third world country when talking to some one from another country in the developing world.
