I think sharing a common language is kind of important to that whole 'melting' part.

As an old heterosexual white guy I must say my demographic was seriously under-represented.

BTW although Coke is a US based company (Atlanta) only 20% of it's sales come from the states.

It's as global of a brand as it gets.

And if they'd chosen a song that isn't country specific and done the same thing it might have been a good commercial.

There are ways of showing America is a nation of immigrants without showing that they don't all speak English.

You'd think white supremacists ruled the USA according to some of the comments here.

Yup.
