Anbyone else offended by the Coke commercial

[cyclohexane]

Maybe the op should learn Spanish (spoken by settlers in the new world since 1400s). Or better yet, any of the Native American language, native since 5000 BC. Lol

Conservatards were probably crying themselves to sleep.

>That Cheerios commercial
>America the Beautiful sung in languages other than English. ("If English was good enough for Jesus...")
>Brown man puts on the best Superbowl halftime show in memory, showcasing astounding artistic talent across the entertainment spectrum compared to the the banal exhibitions of commercial fame of previous shows.
>Black QB stomps lily white one.

Yeah, when I heard the Coke commercial, my ears perked up. "What is this? Something outside the typical narrow White Christian mindset? Conservatards are going to be going volcanic over this one!"

Thanks for being as dumb as I knew you were, Matt.

Bruno Mars is quite the melting pot in his own right. He is Puerto Rican and Filipino. He is also half Jewish ethnicity.

Fact- every year, thousands and thousands more White Canadians are moving to Mexico, Africa and Texas
Snow birds will eventually take over the world
You should join them Geo, then when you finally decide to start to reproduce you could actually start to help balance things out.
Obviously your message board posts are not helping to stem these coke commercials

However, if 500 million people from Africa all want to move to Maine, and we allow all 500 million to do so, Maine is no longer Maine. It would be an incredibly over-populated place and the culture there would be unrecognizable. The former inhabitants would be a tiny minority and would be miserable.

This is another misconception, by far most people from Africa, Aghanistan,North Korea do not want to move to Maine.
They love their country and want to stay there

 

[Oldgamer]

Wow, there was absolutely nothing offensive in that ad. Have people lost their mind? This is a classic coke commercial. This reminds me of all the idiots who got upset at a little hispanic boy singing the national anthem at an event. I guess racists are gonna be racists...thats all they know how to do is spew hate.

Can you think of any times when cultural and racial differences have led to strife, tension, and conflict between groups? (Hint: almost every conflict in human history)

And you don't consider being a society that had to deal with issues of segregation, slavery, civil rights, Jim Crow, lynchings, etc to have been a set back? Keep in mind that a society which was completely homogeneous would never have been plagued by any of those issues.

You know the Romans had white slaves right? There are many examples throughout history of slavery of a similar race of people, it is not always white on black.

 

[Matt1970]

Nowhere in that story does anyone claim that people are refusing to learn English. So, still waiting for an answer to question # 1



And nowhere in this story does anyone demand that all languages have to be provided for 911 or that all streets should have road signs in all languages. So, still waiting for an answer to question # 2




Well, "pal" it may well be "common sense stuff" but I'm still waiting for you to be able to back up your claims with real, honest to goodness *facts*.

Questions answered. Facts provided. It's not my fault you can accept the answers.

I'm aware. I'm also aware that there was a great deal of black on black slavery in Africa and the Europeans basically just added a lot of new demand to an already existing system.

I was focusing on the history of the US mostly and the difficulties blacks have had here. I believe they've had a particularly hard time assimilating, integrating, and catching up - and were a particularly easy and long-lasting target for worse treatment, because of being less closely related to all whites than any subgroup of whites are from one another - or even from Asians, who whites split off from much more recently.

And I'm certainly not saying that people can't use less dramatic differences like culture and language and religion as fault lines when they are in a dynamic with one or more other groups which are close to them genetically.

This all really just goes back to my overall point which is that the larger the difference between two groups, particularly genetically, the harder it is for them to get along and coexist in the same space. That doesn't mean a smaller difference is a guarantee of harmony and it doesn't mean that a larger difference is a completely insurmountable obstacle. It just means that any society which willingly goes from being 90% homogeneous as the US was in the 60's, to having fairly comparable numbers of several very different groups - is really, really increasing the odds of extreme tension and turmoil in their society.

I don't see as how that's even controversial or debatable frankly. It's a bit like saying water is wet.

 

[Orignal Earl]

This is kind of funny.
I'm up in the big city for a couple weeks getting some doctoring done, and staying with one of the bros and his family from my old hometown
Just yesterday, probably because of something I read here, we started yakking about Muslims
He told me how they want to make us quit singing Oh Canada at the beginning of hockey games, and how in 20 years there will be so many Muslims here that they will be able to elect one of their own for Prime Minister.
I was like lol, where are you getting this from? He showed me the emails and I introduced him to snopes
But that wasn't good enough for him, cause well it was just another web site
Needless to say we had a very lengthy discussion and I was able to blow his mind about several things he believed, but he still has a lot of doubts and don't trust em Muzzies at all
I love him like a brother, and when the Muzzies come to kill all us infidels, I will go down shooting by his side

[Oldgamer]

Everyone here does realize that the song sung wasn't the national anthem right? LOL Anyway, if you look at all the ads coca cola has done over the years, you will see this is there typical type of commercial. I actually thought it was a beautiful commercial and I really liked how they used different languages to sing the song.

If I'm not mistaken Seahawk QB Russel Wilson has some Native American ancestry as well.

In Canada, the black folk have "assimilated" very well and succeed at a higher rate then whites and Asians. Most of our illegals and gang problems are from the Asian and native comminuties
In Alaska , white folk commit crime at a rate three times that of any demograph from the rest of America

Really? Gonna play the typical stereo types card? Can I play?
>Players making more in one day than most people make in a year
>Why aren't the players all paid the same? They all work just as hard.
>Why no affirmative action? Each race is not represented equally on the teams.
>Some people got to play longer than others on the field. Some didn't get to play at all.
>The gap between the lowest and highest paid player grows every year.

[JManInPhoenix]

No, I was not offended by the Coke commercial.

 

[CanOWorms]

I see no evidence that the people in the commercials are not multilingual. People can speak many languages in the United States.

The thing which offends me about this commercial and the notions it endorses, is the fact that all of the places these immigrants which are shown have come from - are still homogeneous.

They were immigrants? How do you know that?

50 years from now on current trends, Mexico's demographics will look about the same. Most African nations' demographics will look about the same (just with way, way more people), and most Asian and middle eastern nations will be demographically consistent too.

It is only the nations which have traditionally had a white majority which are on track to dramatically change demographically within 50 years, and in fact already have changed dramatically. In 1960 the US was 90% white. And of course European nations were very homogeneous. A great number of European nations are now on a very clear trajectory to a white minority. The people who have lived in those lands for 50,000 years or more, on track to be a minority in the span of a single lifetime. In their own lands.

Many of those nations will change in demographics in other ways - other ethnicity, language, religion, etc. Many African nations have hundreds of ethnicities with hundreds of languages.

Additionally, many Middle Eastern, North African, etc. are white and are not on track to change demographics in terms of race. You may have an extremely narrow definition of white.

So I guess what bothers and confuses me is why diversity and multi-culturalism seem to be such a one way street. Why it just seems to mean one group, and only one group being phased out globally and no longer having any homeland(s.)

That seems unfair to me.

Lots of groups of people don't have a "homeland."

There's also the fact that multicultural societies don't really work. Once this nation transfers from being one with a strong base culture which is assimilating smaller groups of other cultures, into one where you have several cultures all vying for influence, which it rapidly is becoming... the fault lines are going to really break us apart.

Strong base culture? The problem right now is America is basically a caste system where one caste thrives off of white privilege and the others are negatively affected by it. If America becomes a true multicultural society and embraces it, it will be the strongest and most highly functional that humanity has ever seen. It's just a matter of whether those who benefit from privilege are willing to accept equality. It's tough to get those who have accumulated power through unnatural means to relinquish it. Whether American will work as a multicultural society may primarily rest on the white community's acceptance of equality.

America has long had these ingrained caste systems from its beginning. Hopefully the higher caste will submit to pacification.

Oh and it's also completely counter to what the founders of this nation envisioned it to be, which was not a melting pot in any way.

Depends on who you consider to be the founders.

 

[brycejones]

Nope, don't care. But I was thinking that someone was going to start a thread about it and bitch about being offended.

 

[Phokus]

Yea how dare people want their nation to remain the sort of place they grew up in, and their parents and grandparents grew up in? Or at least not change so much from that sort of place as to be unrecognizable?

What intolerant, racist, xenophobic assholes. Expecting those who built a nation to actually remain the majority of it... pfft.

Who cares if the founding fathers explicitly stated their desire for the nation to be exclusively white or as close to it as possible forever? Those were just a bunch of stupid racist slave-owning colonialist genocidal assholes.

I say we take them off our money, tear down their monuments and burn every painting we have of them. Their stupid constitution is tainted to its core by who wrote it. Sheesh, ever look at who signed the declaration of independence? Total sausage fest! And no diversity at all! Just a bunch of rich, old, dead white men! Yuck!

Why are we still letting their diseased thoughts have any influence on our society at all? I say we put those founding documents through a paper shredder. Oh and what will we replace the monuments in D.C. with? How about 15 MLK statues, and one each for Che Guevara, Malcom X, Barack Obama, and Nelson Mandela? Sounds like a plan to me.

And since it's clear that expecting any sort of genetic or cultural continuity, or any sort of restraint on immigration at all is nothing but pure, unadulterated racism and white supremacy - let's stop pussyfooting around and do the only fair and moral thing: no more restrictions of ANY KIND on immigration. Unlimited rights for all human beings on the entire planet to come and live in the United States - even if they hate and want to destroy this country. I don't blame them!

And why should anyone want one language to be spoken? How regressive. I love it when I call customer service or ask a question of someone working at a store and can't resolve my issue because of a language barrier. It makes me feel very enriched, and I'm looking forward to that becoming a more and more common experience going forward. I'm looking forward to it spreading to all aspects of my life.

Oh look, Geosurface went full nazi retard

I genuinely think he would be happier on Stormfront than here. I don't mean that as an insult, just as a fact.

I thought it done well and helped show the diverse makeup of the US of A today. Great move Coke!!!

this, so much of this.

 

[soulcougher73]

Outrage not found. OP is stupid.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

I suspect many families are like mine when it comes to speaking their native language, it is spoken at home and with others of the same nationality. When at school, work, shopping, or local government offices they speak English.

Yeah, when I heard the Coke commercial(on youtube after I read about the fallout from it), my ears perked up. "What is this? Something outside the typical narrow White Christian mindset? Conservatards are going to be going volcanic over this one!"you agreed with as you read someone else saying that)

Thanks for being as dumb as I knew you were, Matt.

because we all know you were watching your favorite cartoon and not football



but seriously, the outrage is xenophobic

Im glad America isn't the same as it was for my grandparents it had its ups, but it also had a lot of downs.

and dude, geo. shutter
