South Pacific and Coco Cola Commercial

I would have to say this commercial was by far one of my favorite super bowl commercial. This commercial demonstrates the foundation of the United States which is suppose to be based on freedom and equality. This country was not founded on bigotry and discrimination, so why is there so much controversy about this commercial? We are all equal. We should respect diversity in the U.S and be grateful that we can come together as a nation. It's sad that racism is still going on today. Consequently, a 1949 broadway musical cause this same type of controversy. "South Pacific" was a broadway show about an american soldier who fell in love and had children with an island girl. It sent a strong progressive message about racism. The issues of racial injustice was explored throughout the whole musical and most people were not pleased. Why haven't the views of some american people changed from back then to now? We are still dealing with the same ignorance of racial injustice and discrimination. As a minority, I feel entitled to the same rights of others and believe it is our duty as Americans to respect equality throughout this nation.
