As someone who was born in New Zeland[sic], I take great offense to you calling my homeland a third-world country. Check yourself.
you may take all the offense you can muster. a careful reading should not indicate that there was a one-to-one correspondence between the countries listed and the human development level suggested -- the quote was simply taken verbatim. it is also to be noted that there is nothing pejorative about the term "third world". and it is aptly applied to at least one or two of the states listed.
