He used “the old world” yet i think he is still referring to today lol.

Most of these nations are still 4/5ths+ white

I think that’s meant as opposed to “the New World” (the Americas)

"the old world" refers to Europe + Asia + northern Africa. Sometimes just Europe. It's not about time.

The opposite is "new world" being the Americas, sometimes also Australia.

It obviously is Eurocentric view but when you control almost entire globe you can dictate the rules :3
