People are people

Also, benpaco, "till" is correct. It's technically more correct than "'til", which only became acceptable because people didn't know it was incorrect. Sorry, pet peeve. |
My actual problem there was "singin" but alright, good to know.

I may be a little late here, but whatever.
I do agree with the equality message this ad brings. I am always for peace, love, and human rights. But I think the American identity is getting a little deluded. Coca-Cola should have focused on American symbols and aimed away from any sort of religion, sexual orientation, or other country. It's my opinion, so please do not take that as fact.

You mean diluted, I believe. Anyways, the people who are diluting "America's identity" are the type of rednecks who hate this ad. They claim America solely for themselves, thus the 'MURICA memes. They're the ones diluting the identity, seeing as our identity is based around a "melting pot", and they think it ought to be based around them and those like them.
I haven't actually seen the ad though, just heard about it, so meow.

Hahaha, thanks. Spelling was never my game. I often forget basic words completely here and there. It's embarrassing. 
But yeah, I agree with what you are saying. It is just that, they could've thrown in a bald eagle, or a football game, or something a little more American, if that was their intention. But who knows what that intention may be. Can't say I can think like an advertiser.

This always happens, when Miss America happens to be of Indian descent or those illiterate people who tried to read the Hunger Games found out Ree was black from the movie, you get a small but deafening group who make the most bone-headed, ignorant responses imaginable on the web, be it twitter, tumblr or whatever place you can post all the stupid shit in your head. It's a small group, not all of America. Given stupid, bigoted comments however are not limited to the US in the western world, need I unfortunately remind you. We just seem to have the loudest and the most addle-brained idiots of them all who yell at the highest octave imaginable (and unfortunately keep voting in even louder, idiotic megalomaniacs to represent them).

Yeah, that's a bigger pet peeve for me, though I didn't know "till" was more correct, I'll definitely change how I look at that now!
