  • The people acting like a majority of Americans think that are just as bad as the racists

  • I think it's strange that whenever I'm drinking Coke, this thread returns to the top of the first page. OT: Shows the world how accepting America is. You're always welcome here as long as you're white, speak English, and are an American citizen.

    • I am surprised not more people said "In America we speak American" or something stupid like that.

      • You know what? Maybe it's a good thing that some people have stopped drinking a soda. Maybe, in an odd turn of events, some Americans will lose weight because of their perception of a commercial. Funny, really. It took a very American commercial to make some Americans less fat. Still very racist, though. Hmm...

        • Would you guys please quit taking the views of 20-50 million out of 300M+ people to be the view of our entire country! Your countries have people with different views too! That's because they're human!

              • I am really proud of my Southern heritage. I'm proud that I value people more than money. I am proud that I was raised to respect people, even if you can't stand them. I am proud that I was taught to love people even if they have problems. I am proud that I was taught that a stranger was just a person you didn't know. I am proud that I was raised to love my country and my fellow countrymen. I am not, nor will I ever be proud of the disgusting filth that the South is so correctly accused of. I don't know what it is that makes so many good southerners turn into total shit, but if I had to guess, it is the disturbing lack of education. Truthfully, the South is rightly known for its hospitality ... and its also rightly know for its uneducated trash. I just want people to know that the South isn't all this bad ... and in many ways we make up for the disgusting things we've done in other ways... but I swear I feel like -blam!-ing crying when I see the bottom-on-their-belly crawl that these sub-human abominations descend to. I -blam!-ing hate these people. I hate them for what they do to others. I hate them for what they do to our good name. I hate them for all the pain they've caused, for all the anger they've caused, for all the obstructions to unity they've caused, I -blam!-ING HATE THESE STUPID REDNECK DUMBSHITS. /Real-shit-rant

                • Wow sometimes when I think Ive seen the worst and the stupid of humanity in my country. I get pleasantly surprised and depressed. Honestly the people who get offended are the same mouth breathers that think the government is run by honest and truthful people.

                    Wow, a bunch of ignorant ass holes aren't they. I hope they do an entire commercial in Spanish next time just to piss more people off.

                    I find it odd that some conservatives are complaining about a commercial in which the people whom they regard as "unclean savages" are singing praise to their imperial overlord in hopes that it may share its obvious superiority to the "lesser nations" of the world.

                            Time did a lovely article about it. [quote]The xenophobic protesters had one thing right: we do speak English in America. We speak it on official business and in Super Bowl broadcasts; we use it in publications like this one. But that’s not all we do. People like my immigrant mother and her immigrant sisters learn English as adults and raise their kids to speak it, and also speak French and Arabic at family get-togethers and on phone calls. We speak English in school and Spanish with grandparents and Spanglish with friends. We speak Creole and Chinese and Tagalog sitting down to family dinners–maybe with a bottle or two of Coke around the table, which is why Coke is smart to recognize this. We come to America, in other words, and we become American–but we don’t erase everything else that we were before, we don’t forget our cultures and languages as if they never existed, and we don’t hide them as if they’re shameful or less than patriotic. We bring them out and share them, and they make this country better and stronger. America isn’t weakened because people don’t submit to a monoculture; it’s strong because it can absorb the peoples and aspirations and talents of the rest of the world without erasing their cultures.[/quote]

                            I like how half of the people complaining can barely speak English themselves.
