It annoys me to see commercials from McDonalds and the U.S Army/Navy with a hispanic male talking in a dominate "hispanic" accent.

"Play MicDonalds and vin!"

"I am an armeh of uon!"

WTF. Not all hispanics talk like that. Some of us were BORN in this country, and speak cleaner english than many non-hispanic people.

Haha. Try watching a movie with a southern character.

NONE OF US talk that way.

The marketing ploy is to emphasize inclusiveness of minority races and cultures. A stronger accent makes a person appear to be in a smaller minority and thus makes the advertizing company seem more inclusive. :P
