Yes, this is an ad from Aeroméxico and agency Oglivy, but still. Just watch. You will get it. At least we think you will. (PS: Watch the guy who is told that he is 22% Mexican.)
The video was shot in Wharton, Texas, according to the production company who did the video.
And yeah, we know that the term “Mexican DNA” is not really that accurate, but we choose to look the at bigger point of this ad and how it was created to combat other narratives in this political climate.
(Huge h/t to @miblogestublog for this one).
I am 100% Mexican and very proud of my Mexican heritage. Don’t care to think that the ignorant hillbillies that you interviewed have any Mexican blood. Since texas is part of occupied Mexico things happened when people weren’t thinking straight.
[…] for the Win – on immigration, DNA and Mexico. Ok, this is an ad, and it’s a bit shaky on the science, but it made me smile – Aeromexico has a nice take […]
