There 5 Spanish channels on our local TV. All the ads, Coke, Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge, Tmobile, Sprint, DirecTV, Chase, Sears, Pennys, Walmart, Kroger, Tom Thumb, CVS, Walgreens, McDonalds, Wendys, Burger King, Jack in the Box and others are all in Spanish with Spanish actors...kids too. There is one local Vietnamese and Indian station...all in their native languages. Same advertisements all in a foreign language. If you have a business, you want to make money. Doesn’t matter who’s pocket that buck was in.
But this was during the very American Super Bowl which had the most viewers of any TV broadcast in American history.
And it is right in the middle of this record breaking broadcast the Coca-Cola goes full force in the face of 120 million Americans with their Multicultural Agenda with all those languages and even gay men holding hands.
I don’t suspect they run such ads on your local Indian TV station or on a re-run of Gilligan’s Island, but only do so when they know millions of kids are watching.
You’re right about the buck chase. However, societally AND economically, the cost of making those ads would tremendously drop if the once-required rule about learning English to be a citizen were still enforced.
I brought my wife and son home in 1976. She was required to be able to speak English, and she was tested on it during the multiple visits she had at the immigration office. She attended local night classes for over a year (and continued on with writing and other classes after that).
It burns her pretty good to see immigrants here now that can’t even understand the most basic English (unless it is ‘government standard English’ like “Medicaid, WICs, SNAP” etc.)
