Our forefathers welcomed peoples from all lands to the home of the free. If you don't like that then I suggest you move to some other country.

And all of those people are now English speaking Americans.

Native Americans came from Asia.

So are the children in the commercial. But they speak their native language too.

Love to see RWNJ heads explode

Per usual, it's the cons who have the irrational annoyance over something as basic as a commercial.

I saw it.

I thought it was beautiful.

I'm not annoyed, I just like to debate things like this.

The ironic thing is that the people who are speaking their native tongue in this commercial are simply expressing the same affinity for their language as we are for ours. Of course I'm not surprised that the loony libs don't recognize this fact.

Apparently some need to get another hobby.

Some have way too much free time on their hands

I don't buy it. I've seen too many Hispanic demonstrations here in the U.S. in which they proudly wave the Mexican flag shouting, "Viva Mexico!"

So much for "independence" and "individualism". Apparently American values only count if you speak English.
