All the dipshits screaming about the commercial and multiculturalism being anti-American seem to think that there is some sort of unifying white American culture that is being disparaged here.

Multiculturalism extends beyond just brown and black people and immigrants. It also includes whites since there is no monolithic white culture to point at. Sure, there are regional American cultures (Southern, Midwest, California, Appalachian, etc.) but beyond that, what is “white culture”? Is it German? Irish? French? English? Italian? Swedish? Dutch? Romanian? Russian? Scottish? All of the disparate cultures that make up white America have their own traditions, their own foods, and yes — their own languages.

It’s a much more complicated idea than the nutjobs would like to believe, so they default to SPEAK ENGLISH and WHITE CULTURE BEING OPPRESSED when they see spots like this one. It’s annoying.
