> The expression being imprecise can feel offensive. It's a very common term and usually implies the strength of economy, as measured by GDP. However, the fact is, you'd be hard pressed to find some other general economy criterion by which an average African country, for example, would lead compared to an average European country. That's very unfortunate, but it's just how the things are.
This doesn't change the fact that providing examples in that phrase is totally unnecessary and singling out some places for making an example is an invitation for taking offense. I agree with @dlesnoff, "…will continue to be freely _and universally_ accessible." sounds much better and clear without any additional clarifications. If impersonal facts are offensive to someone, it's probably their problem, though. I don't get the Xenophoby lunge above at all.
