I found this campaign video and thought about how it addresses globalized identity. In this campaign, Tim James states that you can choose between 12 languages to take the drivers test in Alabama. He argues that "This is Alabama, we speak English. If you want to live here, learn it!" I do agree that English is the primary language in America but this is cultural imperialism. James is a white, middle class male who is taking control (dominating) over all other races who speak different languages and telling them they need to all learn English or else they can not drive (or more specifically, they can not live here). This does also deal a little with race. James, like I mentioned before, is a white male which is the most dominate and he is saying that you need to speak English or else you are not welcomed in Alabama. There are other races that do speak English but some, English is not the primary. James also says that is will save money if we change the drivers test to just English and "it makes sense". Does it?
