Watch: Meet the AMERICANS in the Coca-Cola Super Bowl Ad that Enraged Xenophobes

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.

Although it is hard to believe that, in this day and age, such a beautiful advertisement can generate so much outrage and controversy among conservatives, it’s hardly surprising that Tea Party “darlings” such as Allen West found it “disturbing.”

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” .... 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!” ...........
