Thats a common misconception and ignorance of western world in action. Just like they call their native Americans as Indians. And when they say "world", they really mean the North American continent. When they say immigrants, they mean third world people, and when they say expats, its first world country citizens.

These misconceptions will change once the solipsistic cloud over the western world clears out.

So you think we Europeans mean the North American continent when we say "world"? Or is Europe not part of the western world?

I understand the air of superiority in your comment. You can keep that to yourself and go back to your colonial days. By the way, what you think about this ? Isnt it stupid to call it a world series ? As a European, will you call it the world series ?
