Multiculturalism is wonderful, but the problem is the language barrier. The US is a predominantly English speaking country, and there are pockets of immigrants who don't seem to assimilate. That's what this commercial does wrong; instead of showing people of different races and cultures singing in English, they show them singing and song about America in their own language. They're identifying with their country of origin first and as Americans second and this is a big problem. Language barriers create racial tension, limit the immigrants job and employment opportunities, and to many people shows disrespect for the country they moved to.
Americans could never get away with moving to another country en masse and refusing to learn the local language. The US is a melting pot only if people are willing to melt, otherwise it will remain a fractured nation of cultural clusters. That being said, I have overwhelming respect for immigrants who come to the US, learn to speak our language and identify as Americans.
Yet, all the singers in this commercial appear quite comfortable speaking English.
Actually the best Coke comes from Mexico because it is in glass bottles and uses cane sugar.
You know, when I was in Key West I went to a Mexican place that advertised their Coke just like that. So, I ordered one. I couldn't tell the difference but then, I never drink regular Coke just Diet Coke.

Personally, I don't know why anyone would drink Coke with corn syrup. The taste is completely different to me. Coke with sugar is easily available in the US at stores like Costco, Whole Foods, Wegmans, and many more.

You can also stock up during Passover with Kosher for Passover Coke - they're the bottles with the yellow tops. No corn for Passover = only cane sugar.
Now they should have a commercial showing the Seattle celebration. Drinking Coke and smoking a legal Blunt.
Now THAT is a commercial I would enjoy!
