"“Over the years I have witnessed and advised others how a thoughtless gesture or comment can hurt good caring people."
This was a prepared speech. Not some off-the-cuff comment.
In which Nooyi said "This land we call home is a most-loving, ever-giving nation -- a "promised land" that we love dearly in return. And it represents a true force that -- if used for good -- can steady the hand, along with global economies and cultures."
The speech was condescending and ham-fisted, but not the anti-American manifesto people are making it out to be. Nooyi specifically pointed out her patriotic love and admiration for our nation.
