Hi George
The derogatory term "third world" was dropped over twenty five years ago in
UK universities/institutions and replaced with "developing world", developing
economies etc. Is this not also true for American institutions trying to
minimise/eradicate poor labelling?

The term "third-world" country is used by the West to denigrate and degrade
countries who are
struggling to come up. In many cases the West through WTO, IMF, globalization,
arms sales,
multi-nationals are holding emerging countries back and then turn around and
have the gall to call
them "third-world". India is emerging and its awards do not suffer the illusion
of the British
OBE, MBE where the "E" stands for Empire. The British Empire today is the
backyard of Buckingham
Palace, affectionately referred to as HMB, Her Majesty's Backside.
Regards,
George
