Why Coca Cola's Multicultural 'America the Beautiful' Ad Was Offensive

Just want to register my OUTRAGE over this commercial. My family came to America in the early 1900’s and ASSIMILATED into the culture of being American. How dare they air such an insulting commercial which is really a slap in the face to everyone who did it the hard way.

The biggest percentage of Coca Cola sales are in foreign countries so to them it probably makes sense.

I am a farmer and cattle raiser. So, you say human culture is analogous. You can say that all day long but husbandry, would be a closer phylogenetic example than corn to diseased cattle. Your 'analogy' is thick with political correctness. So you run along and keep spreading your foolishness and watch your country decline. As I said before…. the American Melting Pot is how we immerse people of all kinds into this experiment called America. My prescription is not one of exclusion, but one of inclusion e pluribus unum…….not Balkanization, division, and destruction.

Mexican restaurants and their illegal staff, hell no!

What about Micky D? LOL!

What a silly analogy. People by their very nature are all unique. It is flat-out stupid to think that adding new colors or languages will automatically have a nourishing effect upon the host. Especially when the new arrivals *loathe* America and her Constitution, as many do. And you know this, but you’d rather sound oh so clever, tolerant and understanding. Bob

We all embraced the Cheerios ad, as we should have. I’m not calling for Balkanization but inclusion.

I’m offended. I just realized most of my clothing was made in South and Central America or Asia.

NAFTA offends me and China offends me. India’s flooding of visa engineers into this country offends me. I’m burning all my clothing and will go naked from now on.

And Cheerios? They don’t let us know on the box if it’s GM or not so they could be sneaking organic in there without us knowing. I’m offended. No more General Mills products for me.
