After Coca-Cola’s beautiful Super Bowl ad featuring a multicultural rendition of “America the Beautiful” that encompassed everything that is good about our diverse melting pot, conservative xenophobes all across America took to social networks to voice their disapproval and anger towards the soda manufacturer for daring to portray what many of them mistakenly believe is America’s “national anthem” in multiple languages. ...

Well, if they didn’t like the advertisement, they are sure to hate this behind the scenes look that explains precisely why the ad is as American as apple pie. In it, all of the “members” that were featured in the video explain why, although their ancestry and bloodlines come from elsewhere, they consider themselves very fortunate to live in, and enjoy, this beautiful country.

The video begins with all of them explaining where “they’re from”: “I am an American. I am an American. I am Filipino-American. I am a native American. I’m an American. I’m an American. I am a first generation American. I am French-Canadian. I am a Palestinian American. I am Puerto Rican and American. I am American. I’m an American. I am an Arab American. I am an Israeli American. I am an American, and I love America…. We have a real good mixture of people in this country. Every race, every ethnicity, every culture, every religion. Different people coming from all over the world, sharing their food, sharing their languages. It’s the world, in one country!”

The best part is, the video even features a Native American explaining that “Somebody once called me ‘you know, those foreigners’ and I just thought that was funny because actually THEY are the foreigners!”
