John Cena On Patriotism & Diversity [VIDEO]

Note the family in the background. Mashable sets up the clip:

John Cena wants to body slam bigotry in America. In a new public service announcement that feels as if it could just as easily be an ad announcing a “Cena 2016” campaign, the pro wrestler gives an earnest-sounding lecture about how patriotism goes hand in hand with respect for the diversity of the American people.

Cena breaks it down: Of 319 million U.S. citizens, 51% are female, 54 million are Latino, 27 million are disabled, 9 million are LGBT, 3.5 million are Muslim — and the list goes on through many more statistics about people’s identifiers.

“Almost half the country belongs to minority groups,” Cena says in conclusion. “What’s more American than the freedom to celebrate the things that make us, us?”

The campaign was produced in partnership with the WWE, Facebook and Google along with a host of other big-name brands including Coke, Pepsi and State Farm.
