As America reels from perhaps its most divisive election in recent memory,Crime Archives a new set of ads seek to remind everyone that patriotism and respect for our country's diversity are two sides of the same coin.
The ads feature members of often-oppressed minority groups in patriotic settings. For instance, a gay military couple embraces in a train station, a transgender cheerleader poses in red, white and blue gear and a Sikh man prays in a gurdwara while wearing a star-spangled turban.

The campaign is the work of the Ad Council, a nonpartisan nonprofit responsible for many of the country's most iconic public service announcements.
It marks the latest installment in a series of viral hits from the group's "Love has no Labels" push, which is aimed at more broadly fighting prejudice.
The new ads strike a similar tone to one the group ran last Fourth of July, in which pro-wrestler John Cena appealed to Americans to remember just how much of their populace is constituted by various minorities.

A spokesperson said the ads were particularly timely considering how the election and various other current events have put a spotlight on implicit biases.
Watchdog groups have registered a disturbing surge in hate crimes across the country in the weeks following Donald Trump's electoral win.
The campaign was created in partnership with New York ad agency R/GA.
