The very use of the term "first world countries" is pretty damned
imperialistic, as in "we are superior and we are there to
civilize them". If you don't know what that means in terms of
experiences for the locals, read up on the Sepoy rebellion and
the French rection to insurgency in Indochina (1946-1954) and
later in Algeria.

So, oh wise (ahem) one, what is the meaning of racism, other than
treating others differently (and more often than not with disdain
such as you have expressed towards...let me find that again...
"dregs of the third world you let in breed like cockroaches")
than one treats one's own members?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that when you say
"dregs of the third world" you are not referring to white people.
