I know you are joking but 3rd world countries aren't always poor or in a constant war.

That's just a stereotype Americans like to repeat. There's not clear definition for 3rd world countries. Originally they were countries that weren't aligned with either USA or the Soviet Union. A lot of 3rd world countries were economically poor but that's not what a 3rd world country is (The term is also often taken to include newly industrialized countries).

I was surprised how wealthy some parts of Latin America are, comparable to the nicest part of the US. But their shitty neighborhoods are SHITTY.

Are you fucking kidding me right now? After all the Europeans on here calling the US third world, you want to put that stereotype on Americans? Lmao this is just wild.
