I for one have zero problem with the commercial. I have a problem with my fellow Americans bashing my ancestral people for something that Chevy did.CameronPoe wrote:

I hear you... I don't press 2 for spanish , and I drive a xcv70 volvo wagon . If I drove a truck it wouldn't be a Chevetos . Does it come with a igloo cooler , and Jeasus stickers on the headlights??? Well atleast the bus stops will look clean on my way to work now that they got new Chevetos....
Bullshit? Hehehe, not really. Its called capitalism. America didn't invent it, but sure as hell perfected it. If Chevy made a comercial in Spanish during a world series gam, its because there is some damn good money to be made selling pickups to muchachos.
Its really funny to see you people get so worked up by tasting your own poison, after all this is the same capitalism that makes US the largest economy in the world...

We have ads in Maori here. My school qualification certificate was in Maori, and most Maori don't speak Maori!
You get over it. It dosn't matter. It's just a show that they are diverse.
Why are you pissed off by this? It's an ad you can't understand, Hell, MOST ads I don't understand. Did you know that Chevy didn't just sell their cars to english-speaking Americans? Yeah! Shock horror! There's nothing wrong with advertising in the language of the minority. Sure you want get the message from the ad heir running, that's the company's loss, why be outraged? The fact that a simple thing like an ad can awaken such anger in you suggests that, (and I don't want to use this word,) you are incredibly racist.
I am honestly disgusted.
no gusta!
What the fuck that is bullshit. I'll be god damned if all our commercials become spanish.

Still, its there. And anyway, if I'm correct latinos are actually a political force. They have a significant number of votes which some of your politicians specifically target. Even illegals can vote in the US, right? That comercial just pisses people off because it throws in their face something that is too late to be stopped...Naughty_Om wrote:

illegals cant vote, You have to be a U.S. Citizen/ resident to vote. ANd im fine with the legals. ITs the illegals that think they are above the law that piss me off. And the Ad, yea, your right, its a big language. But i would rather see the ads in english because its america. its our language. We have telemundo for a reason.
The future of America, for better or worse, is bilinguality.
ooooOOOOOOHHH YEAH THEY CAN!!! they're not supposed to, but they sure as hell do, maybe ATG or someone can tell me the name of the rep in southern cali that got elected with more voters than they had registered in her district, when investigations began the ACLU and everyone jumped in shouting VOTER DISCRIMINATION!!! RACISM!!!! and it became too hot a potatoe to be pursued (one of the reasons i got pissed at my repub leadership) why else do you think so many democrat and hispanic cultural organizations are so vehemently opposed to voter ID? my god, what could be worse than having to prove you're a voter on election day, even Hitler would think that a wee extreme.Naughty_Om wrote:

Now this makes me wonder...do they have English commercials on Spanish stations??? Seriously why the fuck would someone that could not speak English, watch TV in English? I do no not know any kind of Spanish and don't watch their television shows...?
Since 3rd grade geography class you have heard America hailed as a melting pot of nations. America is proudly comprised of people from all over the world. How can you truly be offended by a commercial that is in Spanish? There is an ever increasing number of Spanish speaking natives in this country besides the first generation immigrants. I know the argument involves the World Series and probably has some undertones of, "Thats as American as apple pie" connotations. However what is more American than the embracing of other cultures. Cause like it or not we ARE a melting pot of nations, and Latin influence is a very strong force within that pot.
spanish speaking natives? you almost got it right swagger, America is supposed to be a melting pot, but more and more the hispanic community is segregating itself and trying to force the legals to cater to their whims, if they're so concerned about blending in, why are they forcing tax payer money to pay for spanish only schools full of illegal's children? why do they march and protest under mexican flags? why do they riot when mayors have the audacity to take down the mexican flag in cities in the southwest and fly american flags?
You can't justifiably generalize a portion of a minority that is outspoken. You have look at the minority as a whole and make your judgment. I am not saying that I agree with all that this group does or that. Moreover, I am commenting on the original post concerning a Spanish commercial nothing more.kr@cker wrote:

America USED to be a melting pot. When America actually invited imigrants for their cheap labor, or when the country had so much land and needed imigrants to populate the land. Now that the melting pot has been boiling so long its become a very even mixture. The Latino influence that is taking a grater shape now looks more like an oil and vinegar mixture...Earl_SwaggerJr. wrote:

Hey Naughty_OM...provide a link proving that H.CON.RES.9 was passed before you start yelling that English is our national language.
Every time it's been brought up in Congress for the past few years, it's been shoved down to the Education Reform subcommittee and has NEVER made it to the actual floor.
Now, S.2611 WAS passed in the Senate, but the House has yet to look at it, meaning that the full amendment has NOT been passed.
Therefore, being multilingual in this country prevails.
