A worthy aim, but impossible to accomplish:
This planet has over a hundred distinct cultures and several hundred people groups. No way can this amount be represented. Simple example: I live in New England, have been to California several times, often for long periods, courtesy of Uncle Sam's Canoe Club (US Navy). Both places are in the USA, but in terms of culture they may as well be in different countries. Hawaii is different than both of them.
Unless someone of a culture/people group is involved with the process and has 'this works, this doesn't' decision making authority mistakes will happen and someone, quite possibly many, will be hurt/offended/disappointed.
Not every culture/people group is well received by others. It is a sad fact that there are divisions, animosities, and fears that go back for centuries. This is a broken world, which means EA needs to tread carefully. The uproar in the forums a few years ago over some Muslim related content is a case in point.
A good idea, but in attempting to please everybody EA is in danger of pleasing nobody.
