I have seen the ad but once. I had a visceral negative reaction to it. After some introspection, I understand why I felt as I did. America the Beautiful is about pride in America and a belief that America is exceptional in a very positive way. While the ad could be seen as expressing the thought that many different cultures view America in that way, I saw it as just more garbage from the multicultural propagandists who do not feel that way about America and who continue to spout the nonsense that “in diversity is our strength.” Diversity at least did not weaken us when immigrants assimilated well, learned English, and moved into the economic mainstream. They were then primarily American and secondarily loyal to their home countries. My mother is, and both my paternal grandparents were, typical of such immigrants. More recent immigrants do not seem to be assimilating as well, and a lack of assimilation does not strengthen us. It Balkanizes us.

I agree. I did not like more of this goopy, cloying, cutsie-pie multiKulturalism. What ever happened to Americanism? Too much “diverse” immigration is killing it. Of cousre we have many immigrants who really get what America is about.

But for 80% of immigrants America is just an economic zone where they can live better than at home. An economic zone without enforceable borders. Their attitude is >>How dare you enforce border entry and controls!!! This is racist!!

"America the Beautiful" in a dozen different languages undermines American cultural unity.

"America the Beautiful" in a dozen different forms of noticeably accented English reinforces American cultural unity.

Coca-Cola deliberately, willfully, with malice aforethought spent millions of dollars to undermine American cultural unity under the guise of selling an American product to Americans.
