The term has been hijacked from it’s original meaning, much like irony.

That said, it’s so dumb. The folks from developing countries are much more likely to be on “their side”. People from developing countries tend to be a great deal more religious. While folks from the EU tend to be less religious, and want more “socialist” programs from the government.

But of course they can’t get over their racism to even make any good decisions.

Its the way they refer to poor nonwhite countries.

Developing works too, kind of.

Low income / high income is the most neutral way to frame it.

Plenty of high educated EU citizens migrate to the US for the higher wages though. Then move back home after a decade with a nice nest egg.
