It's hard to get upset by a commercial.  It first struck me as odd, but then it is a reminder that we are a nation of immigrants.  At the end of the commercial, I did have to wonder what the hell it had to do with selling coke!  Like so many other commercials, it does more to entertain or push a political view than inform about their product. 4951

I really don't see what the big deal is with this commercial. Seems that the extreme right has picked it up and running with this 'anti-america' campaign and on the way has exposed the conservative tools.  4951

Personally, I loved the commercial.  All the girls who sang were born citizens of this country.  They speak English as a first language.  I agree though, I don't see what it has to do with selling Coke. 4951

Where were the German, Italian, Polish, Irish immigrants?I love that America is a mix of cultures.  And I love that people hold on to their "native" cultures/traditions.The context of this ad and the reaction is the national discussion on "immigration reform".  Illegals are called dreamers, while the citizens who pay taxes and who work hard are told "tighten your belts". 4951

@ProblemAgain: For some reason, young people tend to try to imitate the lowest trash of our country.  I'll never understand this.  Schools don't help.  When my kids were in elementary school, the DISTRICT told the teachers not to focus much effort on spelling because it STIFFLED THE KIDS CREATIVITY.  And it's only gotten worse!   I reviewed my kids homework and corrected their spelling.

@Retired_Engineer: grammar, spelling and punctuation are important in order to not appear to be an ignorant, uneducated buffoon when you are dealing with people. there are some people who are smart under all that gooberville stuff but how is anyone to know it?

The commercial doesn't bother me.
 
But there ARE issues. The US has always been a melting pot. It's a core part of who we are in this country. But we have a stand alone identity in the world community. We speak English as our national language. The immigrants of old had a goal to become Americans even tho they were Irish, German, Italians and many others. They learned how to become part of our reading, writing and functioning society. There's a difference between that and what we have now.
 
We dropped the ball on immigration and borders. So now we have a do over presenting itself. But there is no good reason, IMO, to have any other language or culture have equal status within our own country to the extent we don't demand everyone learn to read and write English.
 
Come one, come all, but be one of us. I think the sensitivity to all this has become a political football, and it shouldn't because common sense should be party blind. 4951
