American made? So *thats* why they are produced in Mexico and Canada, eh?
I'm lazy, or I'd go take pictures of the stickers inside the doorframe of my 'rent's Chevy.
Pointless arguement. Toyota is built in America.

I'll be waiting for your anger.
That's a little selective ATG. Where do you live? Were you in Los Angeles to witness it like me, or are you just judging based on pictures posted on the Internet in righteous indignance in the OC Register?

There were just as many American flags as there were Mexican ones. A shitload of people were carrying one of each.

They have their rights but what put chills down my spine is when the students lowered the American flag and raised it upside down with a Mexican flag on top of it. That is unacceptable behavior from ANY group who is seeking out equality. Just like the American flags being raised in Iraq when the war started. If I were  them I would be upset. This argument could go many ways but I feel it is disrepectful to do that to any nations flag. (I havent said any thing stupid yet so here it goes) Unless it is France, they are creepy.

The toyota camry has more american parts than the mustang and the corvette.  I think?  Well at least the mustang, but somehow I had to tie this to Chevy.  Man I'm an idiot.

And seriously, who give's a rat's ass.  "Oh mommy, there's a commercial in Spanish!"  Get a band-aid you whiners.

Yep, you're right.  Camry is made mostly in tennessee i believe, while some "american" cars are made foreign.  this was especially poignant during the big, dumb, ignorant "buy american!" theme during the 90's. lol  we're such lemmings.

Oh and on topic, I agree with Lowing (a first) that spanish language commercials should not be on the air.  I'm even pissed that I have to sift through 3 or 4 spanish language channels on TV, though that is fair.  I'm sick of the LAZY assed mexicans (and other spanish speaking immigrants) who do NOT assimilate or even try.  I say this having been a guest in a foreign country (Brasil) temporarily, but still learning (and mastering) their language and assimilating to their culture, diet, and other national attributes.  It's RUDE to come and rape another country and not even TRY to give back.  There is a burger king in my neighborhood and it has a spanish language ad by the drive through.  And I'll tell you why it's insulting:

1) The predominant language of this country, and that area is ENGLISH.
2) It is insulting of them (not necessarily to the spanish speaking immigrant) to post such an ad which suggests that the spanish speaking people don't understand simple english speaking ads.
3) It undermines the efforts of the diligent immigrants actually trying to assimiliate and contribute to society.

There's other reasons, but these popped up first.

Another point to make is that if I'm Tongan (or of a small and mostly unkown nation and language), and I open up a hot dog stand in Moscow, Russia and I speak in Tongan and label my menu in tongan....would that be offensive?  What if it was Chinese?  How about French?  So then, should it be considered polite or constructive to post spanish language ads in a country that speaks that has a primary language..a language most of the world tries to learn?

I remember seeing a special about a man in Philadelphia who owned a landmark Philly Cheese steak restaurant. He refused service to those who could not speak English and it pissed a lot of people off and they sued him. He won. Also,  he was a non English speaking immigrant when he came to the U.S. . Just wondering if anyone else saw that on TV.

But yet he found a business and is doing great.  The non english speaking people that come here now dont do shit and just eat up our crap.

Yep, that's another thing...you should not be able to get a business license if you don't speak the language spoken in your neighborhood..or country.  maybe if bush can ever do something right, he'll get his "official language" bill passed and that can be the precedent for establishing language related laws like we desperately need.

If I can't understand a customer, i'd have them leave and bring back an interpreter.  refusing service for ANY reason is a good business policy..language barrier is a perfect example of exercising that right.

well obviously chevy thinks there is a market there, and chances are they know more about who can buy their vehicles than you or anyone else here.

Totally agree. But we all know that a group of overzealous students aren't indicative of the whole group. I really believe is that most people participating in the marches would have been just as uneasy if not more so with that sort of nonsense. I'm pro-environment, but I think a lot of Greenpeace tactics are horribly damaging to everyone else's efforts.

Maybe you should clarify who you're speaking to, your responding to several post at once and not saying who..... and I'm a moron? at least i can spell...

What makes you think that because they speak alittle Spanish that the Mexicans are just going to be like, OH I WANT A CHEVY THEY USED OUR LANGUAGE!

You don't live in America, so you probably haven't seen all the commercials, but they always rave about how its an American made car... and the other version of that song is, "This is our country." If you ask me, its alittle bold to go from saying that and them having Spanish songs.

And seeing as how you dont like Americans, your going to always go against what we say.

Yeah I live on the east coast so its kind of hard to gather an unbiased view of what happened that week seeing how all I saw is what the news showed me. What was it like anyways? If you or someone reading this was there, what was the general overtone of the whole situation? It was tough to stomach that Mexican activist guy (the one who promotes a national anthem in spanish). That guy needs to go.

That's 1 country out of over 180 other ones. Having an intimate knowledge of Germany and the US doesn't allow you to say "you don't see other countries doing this".

Can I say that everyone in the United States thinks George Bush is dumber than a rock if me and my neighbor's step-brother believe it to be so?

Actually yes.  I can't speak for St. Louis or Detroit, but go to any Dodger home game, and over half the fans are of Spanish decent.  The only time I see "white people" in large numbers at Dodger Stadium is when the Angels are in town.

This is purely marketing.  In L.A., the largest auto market in the US, this is perfect target marketing.  And if you live here, you will notice that the majority who buy Chevy and Ford full size trucks, are of Spanish heritage.  Whites and Asians are buying the imports.
