europe and the west

(おうべい) Europe and America – as opposed to Japan. (it’s not politically correct, but – despite meaning ‘Western’, 欧米 only refers to white-people countries, and leaves out South America, Africa, and Arabs)
 
西(せいおう) The West – as opposed to all of Asia in general. Like Western medicine vs. Eastern medicine.
