I probably didn't make my point clearly. I meant humans referring to other humans rather than aliens referring to humans.
If humanity spreads out amongst the stars and colonies are established and they wanted to say someone was originally born on the Earth, other than obviously just saying "Everyone knows people from Earth are scum", they could also say, "Everyone knows Terran's are scum."
Or "Terrans have always considered themselves superior to us Vagans"
Still all humans, just that some were born on Earth, others on a colony.
Aliens would likely not notice us anyway and have the Earth mentioned only as a place to demolish for the intergalactic highway.
