I don’t know if its a common term among white fascists but I can tell you that I have personally seen nonwhite individuals described this way online and even in real life in more backwards parts of North America. This was more than 10 years ago.
Maybe its only becoming mainstream now. But racists have been talking like this for a long time. You may not be the kind of person they target so it would be hard for you to know.
Dude again I know what it means to say someone or something or someplace is “third world.” It’s the very specific “first worlder” term I’ve never encountered.
Sure bro, I hear what you’re saying. I’m just saying that I’ve heard regressive folk refer to groups of people as third worlders since before 2015. Just because you haven’t heard it doesn’t mean it hasn’t been said (especially if its not a phrase that would typically be directed at you with contempt).
It means the same thing, there’s just an extra two letters added to the end. Were you shocked every time you first saw a cat with a color you hadn’t seen before, too?
They aren’t the same thing. “Third worlder” can be applied to a specific individuals that are from third world countries and, I suspect, will be applied to people not actually from the third world anyway.
I think you know exactly what I am saying and probably don’t even object, but you consider yourself too deep in the hole now to admit it. So I’m going to do the polite thing and give you an offramp here by ending the conversation before you make an even bigger ass of yourself.
New? This has been used for decades.
I’ve never seen “third worlders”
Depends where you look. I’ve heard it from white nationalists in cesspits like reddit for the past 15 years.
I think your exposure level will come down to whether your demographic is more likely to be on the delivery or receiving end of racism in your region.
I can assure you I am as steeped in the online right as you are, and this was simply not a common term (until now apparently).

“Third world” has been code for poor brown people basically since the designations were first made during the cold war.
Do you mean you’ve never heard the term at all, or just this very specific usage in this very specific instance?
Yes I know third world. I’m saying “third worlders.” This specific term. I’ve never heard someone called a “third worlder.”

This is a crazy hill to die on
… then don’t stab me repeatedly? I don’t know what you want. I thought I was having a discussion, not getting into armed combat.

Yes, it’s the same thing applied to a specific individual. Generalizing does not make it less offensive.
