Coke's "America The Beautiful" Commercial
No one is singing this beautiful, uniquely and distinctly american song in other languages. Heck, I'm not sure children even learn it in school anymore.
Coke is an american company who no longer supports the United States, and this is just one more example.
They are agenda driven with crony capitalist arrangements that are anything but american in spirit.
1. that polar bear nonsense and global warming
2. openly supporting Obama
3. During WWII the US paid to build Coke plants all over Europe. Pepsi wasn't given sugar rations during that period-so they had to use molasses. (Pepsi isn't pure-under Nixon got some special deal we paid for to go into China).
Slick and pretty, but no one is singing America the Beautiful in other languages.

I, personally, love the cultural aspects of various cuisines (I love food - all types). But if I cannot order in an ethnic restaurant (and I have travelled internationally, so I'm used to pointing and gesturing, just don't want to have to do so at the restaurant down the street from my home), then I am much less likely to frequent that restaurant.
hey, the right hand side of this text box is cut off, so I can't change its size :(
What has changed is that, back then, the world knew American culture was like Rearden Metal; Good. Now the world sees American culture as, and our very own children are taught, that American culture is made of Associated Steel; Bad.
And yes, we were a "monoculture" as you put it.
We had our own culture, made from but unique (and superior) to the old world cultures of Europe and Africa, and the cultures of the Americas, which barely exist anymore, having largely been assimilated by Spanish-derived cultures... the thing you wish to condemn us for, and the cultures you expect us to embrace and allow to supersede our own.
I found this amusing...
"It starts with the argument that a bigger brain must be better since it allows more memory storage and faster processing simply because it would have more neurons and connections. For example, a person with a brain size of 1500 cm3 would have an average of 600 million more cortical neurons than a person with a brain size of 1400 cm3. So the first guess might be that animals that have bigger brains must be smarter."
Cro-Magnon brain size, 1400cc... Neanderthal brain size... 1600cc... Oh, and Cro-Magnon was just a big bigger than Neanderthal, overall.
