I guess I am just wondering what’s wrong with immigrants and the way the speak or the way they supposedly dress. Speaking with an accent or wearing ‘fobby’ clothing doesn’t really make someone less American. I am not saying you’re saying this, just saying.

@Kevin: I guess non-fobby accent, normal clothing, and zero-mention of anything Asian related qualify her as “All American”.

I’m all for commercials like this but I just find it really, really sad that we rejoice when mainstream racist media merely treated us like a normal human being. This only that means the rest of the time, we’re still just ping-pong playing “inscrutable” freaks. Wohoo!
