I’m talking about the media classes and elite and rulers who use the terms. When they say “first world” they are not talking about a single country south of Texas

europe is a diverse place with a range of opinions

not really

Almost every European country would not be willing to help Colombia if it had a major crisis.
The only Euro country majorly willing to help was Spain, which makes some sense considering the entire continent is partial descendants of them.

But even then, Spain was less willing to help Colombia than it would other Southern European and even Northern European countries which are MUCH richer than Colombia.

Since Colombia is a Latin American country which was recently loosely allied with the West, doesn't have any major geopolitical disputes with them (unlike Cuba Bolivia Venezuela), and also since it's a very solidly "Mestizo" country (unlike Bolivia Peru) it is a very good proxy for basically any Latin American nation. Their opinion on Colombia, basically, is "as good as it gets" for Latin American countries.

You are not white and never will be, and the honest and emotional conception of the term "Western" is entirely based on race and collective racial interests of white people. Russia isn't in it because Russia wants more stuff at the expense of other Whites. Latin American countries aren't in it because they're not white.

I'm not sure why so much of the rest-of-the-world outside the West is delusional about this. Maybe they're projecting their natural goodwill onto white people lmao? Or maybe they're so ridiculously prideful that they're allergic to seeing themselves as an "oppressed group" that they'll deny the most basic evidence of reality in order to boost their ego?

You'll be surprised to know that people in Europe don't even consider most of Europe "western" and most definitely not middle or south America.

It's not about religion or culture really. Sweden and France doesn't have a lot in common, but they're both "the west". Poland isn't though. Spain just barely qualifies.
