If you don't stop blathering and get breeding right now, it will be either called "North Maghreb" or "North China".

Why do we need to make the differentiation? As China & India gain in power, there'll be less (ego led) need to separate the west - because it'll only highlight our inadaquacy.
Chances are, the media will adapt to seeing us as part of 'one big family', imo.

This whole "world classification" is a bit bullshit to be honest.
We don't really need any more of it and people should forget about it.Just because we are sitting in front of expensive computers, talking about buying a new useless gadget - iPad - which none of us even probably need, doesn't make us superior or happier than people outside the "1st world".
