It's Coca Cola, and they aired a commercial where people sang America the Beautiful in languages other than English. Xenophobes and racists fricking hated it, because it had foreigners and brown people in it.

You do realize that the US has no official national language, right? Several states have established that English is the official language of their state, but we, as Americans, have no national language. For over two centuries immigrants have been coming to this country not knowing how to speak English and many times it took a whole generation or two before the families began to fluently speak English. American Standard English is the language of the majority of Americans, but it isn't THE language of the United States.

I'm 100% for requiring immigrants to learn basic English, but you missed the point of the commercial. We are a multicultural country, and people are welcome to speak those languages. They just need to KNOW some English.

I liked the commercial, it was sweet.
