The Coca-Cola commercial that was aired during the Super Bowl this year had it exactly right. America is beautiful, because people from all over the world have always come here. They bring their languages and their customs and their foods and their traditions with them, and they hold onto them because it’s what they know best. But their children, and every generation after them, will be Americans, both in word and in deed.
Those who object to the Coke commercial need a lesson in what America really is. But Coke appears to understand it, and I’m proud to be a stockholder in this most American of businesses.
