    It means the same thing, there’s just an extra two letters added to the end. Were you shocked every time you first saw a cat with a color you hadn’t seen before, too?

        … then don’t stab me repeatedly? I don’t know what you want. I thought I was having a discussion, not getting into armed combat.

      They aren’t the same thing. “Third worlder” can be applied to specific individuals that are from third world countries and, I suspect, will be applied to people not actually from the third world anyway.

        Yes, it’s the same thing applied to a specific individual. Generalizing does not make it less offensive.
