I was a little hesitant to start this thread because it might turn into a US bashing thread, which is something I wouldn't want to happen

Coca-Cola sparked an ugly storm of reaction online after it aired an advertisement during the Super Bowl that aimed to celebrate the beauty of the United States and the diversity of its citizens.
In the commercial, America the Beautiful is sung in different languages by people in various parts of the country.
However, what erupted online was a stream of hate for the ad by people who said America the Beautiful should only ever be sung in the English language, prompting a hashtag Coke likely wasn't expecting #boycottcoke

Being Canadian, would we have a similar reaction if there was a commercial of the Canadian Anthem being sung in different languages besides English and French? I would like to think not, but who knows how people feel when they are behind a computer screen.
Last year, it was Cheerios had some backlash after their commercial featured a multiracial couple.
Anyways, hoping to spark some intelligent discussion on CP
