John Cena is sending a powerful message across the 50 United States.
In a new Ad Council video titled "We Are America," the WWE star asks viewers to close their eyes and picture the average American before dishing out statistics about the diversity of the U.S. population and clarifying what it really means to be patriotic.
"Patriotism, there's a word that gets thrown around a lot," Nikki Bella's man says. "Patriotism is love for a country, not just pride in it. But what really makes up this country of ours? What is it we love? It's more than just a huge rock full of animals like cougars and eagles, right? It's the people."
"There are 319 million U.S. citizens, 51 percent are female, so first off, the average American is a woman," the Total Divas hunk continues. "54 million are Latino, 40 million senior citizens, 27 million are disabled, 18 million are Asian…9 million are lesbian, gay, bi, transgender…three and a half million are Muslim."
"Almost half the country belongs to minority groups, people who are lesbian, African American and bi and transgender and Native American and proud of it," Cena adds. "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?"
Cena concludes, "Remember to love America is to love all Americans because love has no labels."
