For example, China's birthrate is below replacement rate. Is China a "developing" nation in your mind?
That's why I said many, not all.
paternalistic western view of the rest of the world that lacks any kind of nuance
To reiterate again: there's nothing racist about the fact that many "developing" countries have higher birthrates than the West. Post all the statistics you want about them leveling off: right now in 2021, many are still higher than the West. You are saying it's "paternalistic". You are senselessly bringing in this irrelevant context. If I had to guess, it's because you feel the need to inject politics into conversations so you can argue in bad faith.
The term "developing countries" is a commonly used phrase; the UN uses it. Go complain to them if it's so racist.
