American Jew here. Let's start with that. You can be American. And Jewish. Jewish is not a language, twitter.

Let me also clarify, there is NO language of terrorism. There's a fair amount of homegrown terrorism, wouldn't shock me if there's more English speaking terrorists than there are Arabic speaking terrorists.

Also "in any language other than ENGLISH!!", "your in America" (3 times), "asswholes", "foreign decent", "Lets take an American", "I was singin along till", "this is AMERICAN AND WE SPEAK ENGLISH", and whoever thought that that was the national anthem, bravo. Ten points.

If my parents ask me one more time why I want to study abroad I should just show them this

I think they knew full well what the response would be when they made that ad. They knew that a small but vocal minority of ignorant pissants would raise a stink, causing the media to dub it a "controversy" and bringing their product into the national spotlight. Maybe a few rednecks stop buying their product, but the net effect is increased brand recognition and improved company image among most Americans with disposable income.

The same thing happened with Cheerios a while back when they aired a commercial featuring an interracial couple. Do you think they regretted that move? I'm guessing not, since they aired another one just like it during this Super Bowl.

But meh, if this is how companies are going to promote themselves, I can live with it. There are far worse ways they could be manipulating the American public.

As an American, my reaction to this is pretty much "meh, whatever". This sort of shit is so routine and predictable in America that I'm too jaded to care or be offended.

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.

Be careful where you say that. In some parts of this country that's the equivalent of insulting Muhammad

I'm just about ready to let the Deep South secede. More and more I just consider myself a citizen of the world and nothing more.

The best is when you remind these people that the U.S. doesn't have an official language.

The majority of the people around me are like this. >_<
No they're not like this emoticon - >_< - they're like the people who had a problem with the ad.
