if 72% of the people appearing weren’t white, then they were under representing on purpose. this is a general principal for all commercials.

if you see no whites, and you’re white, obviously they don’t want your business

LOL I always say if an alien landed and watched US television, he’d assume the country is 40% black, 40% hispanic, and 20% gay.

Presumptuous, embarrassing. Another WTF moment...

I can't imagine any other competent modern nation which would have a pseudo-patriotic song in the languages of loser countries.

Enough said.

Guess the folks at Coca Cola never heard of the Tower of Babble.

Went to watch it on Youtube. The comments are full of stupid people whining about racism and “stupid white rednecks”.

On a scale of 1 to 10, this was a shaky 1.
By way of Contrast, the "reading of the Declaration of Independence, was a 10; Marred only by the inclusion of the First Sasquatch, the thing who was proud of "her" country for the first time in her life only when she conned millions of people dumber than herself into giving her possession of the national credit card.

Movin' on up...!

The ads are lame this year.

They are not as lame as my Broncos. The Chinese year of the horse, I guess plastic horses don’t count.

At least it is family and military friendly.

2. People complaining about the ad should keep in mind that anything you say may be used as part of a leftist “see!i told you conservatives are racist” narrative. Just be careful what you write.

Those morons will say that no matter what.
I have never been against LEGAL immigration, even when skewed to the benefit of the unfit.
Coincidentally, legal immigrants would never have the arrogance illegal aliens express daily.

Extremely offensive. Coke can suck it.

Makes me mad when families living here, no matter their homeland, do not speak English to their kids. My grandparents came from Hungary and it is totally foreign to my mother and myself.

We don’t drink pop at our house anyway. This reminded me of why.

Very simple: As a conservative and capitalist, I have faith in the free markets. I am about as certain as I can be that CC would not have run the ad in the absence of a statistically significant chance that the ad campaign will work. The add may not work for a lot of us, but the business goal is to sell more CC, and if the ad works for the target group, then we should acknowledge the success.

I do have a burr under my saddle for the assimilation process when years ago I was told I wasn’t qualified for a good paying job because I didn’t understand Spanish and wasn’t willing to learn it. I guarantee that I was the MOST qualified except for not knowing a foreign language in the United States!

We are a western nation and our values are not universal. Not a fan of the ad, nor of Asiatic and Latin hordes polluting our nation.

but being an American patriot is frowned upon as “supremacist”.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
That is because we are all automatically rich just because we were born American.

Much the same attitude minorities have toward White Males—
We are all rich and have never had to work for anything and have had everything handed to us on the backs of females and minorities.
