The fact that more people don't find this ad offensive shows you how effective decades of pro-multiculturalism propaganda have been in this country. God forbid natural-born American citizens prefer to hear a beloved patriotic song (practically an alternative national anthem) being sung in English rather than a hodge podge of foreign tongues. God forbid people want to enjoy traditional American culture in a country called America. God forbid you oppose the flood of immigration that has completely changed the face of the country socially, economically and politically over the past several decades. These days America is just a cool place where everyone in the world can come hang out and make money, and if you have a problem with that, you're a racist, xenophobic cocksucker and will be publicly shamed by the PC police and hopefully fired from your job.
Try to imagine a patriotic Russian or Chinese song being sung in foreign languages in those countries, with the underlying message being, "Your country's culture is being eroded and your traditional ethnic populations are being slowly displaced and outbred by third world immigrants." Yeah, that would go over like a lead balloon. But for some reason Americans are expected to be self-loathing and not take pride in the preservation of their culture.
1) The eventual winner of this is coca-cola.
"The only thing worse than being talked about, is not being talked about" -Oscar Wilde
This is similar trolling in a way to the Google ad in India about Ind/Pak that everyone thought was "tear jerking" and beautiful, except I though it was something no self respecting Indian person could ever agree with.
2)Sure this might be liberal propaganda, and the tolerance is due to liberal propaganda, but liberal propaganda is not
always bad. Freeing the slaves/civil rights [back when it was a real thing] was liberal propaganda. Liberal propaganda is necessary to a limit. Pushing it further is when the minorities end up wielding power over the majority.
3) "Natural born american citizens". What do you mean by that? There are many 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th gen Americans who are born in non-WASP homes. What is your original American then? Certainly not Irish, or Italian. Damn...it's not even British or Dutch is it? Maybe the Spanish because of Columbus.
I know! You want the commercial in the Ramapough tribal language, since they were the indigenous population of New Jersey. Well i'll get right on learning that so that I can assimilate into the American culture.
The point is America brings in all cultures and people from all countries. That was the big advertisement they made years ago. If you have a problem with it...well I think you will have to deal with it.
And what is American culture exactly? It is an amalgamation of shit from not very long ago. Live in one place for thousands of years like China, and then maybe you can bitch about this.
In the end though, COKE wins.
