It saddens me how angry people are. Do they know there are many white people in this world that speak languages other than English, right? Polish, French, German, Celtic, Swedish, Danish, etc.
AND there are many non-white people who speak English! They sound so hateful and ignorant. The commercial was about language and culture which transcend race. (I'm not responding because I am a "fellow white person," but rather I am passionate about the issue. I love multiculturalism. I'm of European descent but not white,)
By the way, what is a terrorist language? Timothy McVeigh was a terrorist and he spoke English.

This blog expresses my views pretty well:

Of course not. Even the author of America the Beautiful was known to use the odd foreign word, like in this ditty from 1917:

Babushka
by Katharine Lee Bates

THOU whose sunny heart outglows
Arctic snows;
Russia's hearth-fire, cherishing
Courage almost perishing;
Torch that beacons oversea
Till a world is at thy knee;
Babushka the Belovèd,
What Czar can exile thee?
Sweet, serene, unswerving soul,
To thy goal
Pressing on such mighty pinions
Tyrants quake for their dominions
And devise yet heavier key,
Deeper cell to prison thee,
Babushka the Belovèd,
Thyself art Liberty.
Though thy martyr body, old,
Chains may hold,
Clearer still thy voice goes ringing
Over steppe and mountain, bringing,
Holy mother of the free,
Millions more thy sons to be.
Babushka the Belovèd,
What death can silence thee?
