    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?

        … 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.

      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.

      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.

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