I don’t often shill for multi-billion dollar corporations, but the past few weeks have got me thinking about one of my all-time favorite commercials. It’s the now-famous ad for Coca-Cola that features “America the Beautiful” being sung in multiple languages. The commercial irked a surprising number of people when it first aired during the Super Bowl in 2014, and it once again stirred controversy when it was re-broadcast during the Rio Olympics this past summer. For what it’s worth, I find the commercial downright beautiful. It’s a powerful reminder that every single person who has ever stepped foot in America is either an immigrant or descended from an immigrant.
