Why can't a private company advertise in whatever language it likes?

[tkathy]

A private company can advertise however it wants. And we the people can boycott however we want. We don't have to shutup and take it.

[burroak]

A private company has the right to advertise any way it wants to.

The larger point is: McDonald's needs to google "Dixie Chicks and loss of revenue"?

All too often diversity and multiculturalism has prompted companies and individuals to pander to special interest groups, then howl to high heaven when the community at large diametrically opposes them.

There is an awakening happening in America. PC is purely for politicians. Liberals have attempted to shape the discussion by taking the high ground with passing everything through the PC filter. For a long time they have had their way, but I sense a change. Individual citizens are less intimidated now. The left is indignant that the unwashed have decided to can the PC stuff. After having led us to the "enlightened" view of what is PC, it is impossible for the liberals to comprehend the ingratitude.

Probably 3/4 of what I believe would be politically incorrect. I don't give a damn; I'm not running for office.

Who suggested they can't?

"Why can't a private company advertise in whatever language it likes?"

"You are sounding like the crowd that goes around telling Wal-Mart what benefits their employees should receive.
McDonalds is a privately owned company. If they are not in violation of the law, we have no right demanding they change their ad campaigns."

Companies can of course advertise in whatever language they like. And I am free to reject them in whatever language I like--which in my case would be English.

As for McDonald's being a "privately owned company"...no, it is a publicly owned company. Do you now withdraw your argument?

Your erroneous premise aside: The discussion is not about the "violation of the law," it's about a violation of our culture.

Darkwolf is one of the best-known illegal immigration apologist-stooges on FR, so there is no hope there. But Read2Know, you are usually much more reasonable.
