Well, It Might Be Funny
. . . if the whole thing weren't such a touchy subject. I'd like to see how the average multi-generation pro-American, Mexican-American family reacts to
the Absolut ad.
If they are offended, I will be as well. As it is, the map is in questionable taste, but hardly a hanging offense (or a boycotting one, either: of course, we all know that I generally drink gin or whiskey; when I drink vodka, it's usually Stoli).

As a person who now receives 80% of my mail in Spanish because of my surname, and who has been named in "Who's Who" among Hispanic business leaders, scientists, and television viewers over the years, I'm offended. Shouldn't the entire map be green?

It goes without saying that if the reconquistas got their wish, America's policy on immigration would lost most, if not all, of its friendliness.
Naturally, after everyone with money left the new Mexican territory, the Mexicans, noting that the move did not enrich them nearly as much as they had hoped, would claim to have been cheated.
(And the Mexican government would be dealing with a prolonged insurgency in Wyoming.)

Isn't this approximately the map of the continent following the Louisiana Purchase?
