Reply to comment by Klesko in For most Americans, housing was a key component in personal wealth accumulation. However, racist housing policies eroded black wealth in pre-WWII American cities. Black families paid a 28% premium to buy a home on a majority white block, after which their homes lost 10% of their value. by smurfyjenkins

I mean, you could always define it the way Mao did when he coined it. NATO = first world, Warsaw Pact = second world, everyone else = third world. There were some non-NATO us aligned actions that got lumped in the first world as well, Japan, South Korea, etc
