Diversity, Proud

Professional wrestler, comedic actor, and dedicated student of Mandarin John Cena has an important Fourth of July message. The video, embedded above, is a PSA from the non-profit group Ad Council and the #WeAreAmerica campaign.

“Almost half the country belongs to minority groups – People who are lesbian, African American, bi, transgender, and Native American, and proud of it.”
– John Cena

“After all, what’s more American than freedom to celebrate the things that makes us us. This year, patriotism shouldn’t just be about pride of country. It should be about love. Love beyond age, disability, sexuality, race, religion, and any other labels. Because…

“The second any of us judge people based on those labels,
we’re not really being patriotic, are we?”

– John Cena
