I honestly am speechless


Actually no I change my mind, this is why access to Twitter and Facebook etc should have some form of competency exam...

clearing that up, it's a shame and very sad so much racism..

Makes me feel a bit better about racist Australians.

Speaking of spelling mistakes, my girlfriend has a redneck nephew who has an (unintentionally) pretty hilarious tattoo which is in a similar vein to many of those comments.

My guess? The outrage over the multiple languages probably started as an advertising gimmick, but then the actual racists got involved. Seriously, what's a better way to get people to watch a superbowl ad after the superbowl without controversy.

But there is an awesome part to it...look up those Twitter accounts. Almost every single one has either been deleted or changed to protected because the majority of people (including Americans) shouted the idiots down and denounced their stupidity.

The few idiots were pushed back to the fringe. Call me crazy, but that seems like a pretty decent outcome.

He's not the one spreading division and hate, the commenters themselves are doing that.

Ya know....there are times that I do dumb things. I saw this thread, and I KNEW that it'd piss me off. But damn it, I went along and read the link anyway, since even an ocean of venom needs a few extra gallons every now and then. In a just world, squads of people with hedge trimmers and industrial vacuums with blades on the nozzles would be visiting the home of every single one of those "wonderful", "patriotic", stupid as fuck people and making sure they couldn't spawn any more creatures that they could then infect with their willfully retarded garbage. If you're that stupid, your right to spread DNA card should be revoked and then set on fire, and your body right along with it.

Well I think we need to recognize that not everyone "gets" it and work to rectify that. Sadly, there is a huge amount of racism, prejudice etc... that still needs to be addressed in this country - and well everywhere. But considering the last 100 years in the grand scheme of things, we've come a very, very long way, baby ;-) I mean think about it - cars, airplanes, flights to the moon, diseases, life-expectancy, cell phones, computers, the internet.... But changing how people think about other people, well that might take a bit longer...
Well there are many reasons to hope - think about how many states have granted same-sex marriage - now if only the federal government would actually treat those couples like hetero couples, that would bring true equality but one step at a time. See the thing is that despite parental-unit brain-washing, most kids grow up with their own opinions about the world. If thinking, caring people keep speaking up then change does actually happen - albeit slowly.

But thanks for the laugh ;-D

Oh and because it seems apropos to the conversation:

Ok what does real american mean? Those who lived there first? In that case aren't the only "real americans" the native americans?

I get what you're saying, but that's just how the word "American" is used in the English language. There, the terms "America" and "United States" mean pretty much the same thing. The entire continent (North and South) is usually referred to as "the Americas". It may be unfortunate, but it's completely correct to use "Americans" and "citizens of the US" interchangeably (in English).

For a country that butchered the English language, they are awfully sensitive over it. Spell "mum" right and then you can complain! ;)

The point of the public shaming blog is to draw attention to the fact that racism, homophobia, xenophobia and other forms of bigotry are sadly still pretty widespread throughout the United States, while not allowing people to hide behind internet anonymity and their small circles of friends/followers. While I think inspiring stories are great, highlighting only positive reactions to the Coke ad would in some ways contribute to the bigotry by not acknowledging that it's an issue.

At any rate, I could tell the ad was going to draw this kind of attention from dumbasses the moment I saw it on TV. Surprisingly, no one has complained about the gay couple that was in the ad. I was also expecting a big outrage over the interracial married couple in that Cheerios ad.

Funny how easy it is to notice some of the surnames there being pretty non-anglosaxon :) I thinkI spoted a Polish one among others :)

It is used incorrectly, for example if in Argentina we start calling ourself "Canadians" and it's so popular that the term is accepted, it doesn't mean that it's not wrongly used, in USA is common even "correct" to use it but again that doesn't mean it's used correctly, it doesn't matter the language either (USA doesn't even have an official language..!).
