In reply to the discussion: I got this email message from a Republican 'friend' and NO WAY endorse it [View all]rppper
(2,952 posts)....I have friends who are black/Latino/Indian/middle eastern/insert race here.....
If someone has to use a pronoun such as Mexican/black/Pakistani/etc/etc...to describe a "friend", chances are they will never do more for that friend than drop them off at their house and speed out of their neighborhood....
Someone above me on this post hit the nail
On the head with the "most television is geared toward white viewers" comparison...we have MLK day and st. Pats day and all the other diverse holidays because we are a diverse nation, and the term "American way" does not exclusively mean the WASP way....I'm saying this ad an American who can trace his roots to the 2nd Jamestown boats, my father was a 2nd generation Irish American....we are all immigrants here unless you are 100% native American....jeesh, do we even have a holiday honoring them? Ask your closet racist friend that one....
