MODERATORS
From what I've gathered. She's white, blonde, and blue-eyed. The ad says, she has good "jeans" which, without the text, could be interpreted as "genes".
No, she literally goes on a lecture about how genes are passed down from parent to offspring, it is explicitly about genes.
Could you link that one? I've tried to find the ad a couple of times but it was definitely not that.
Seriously, watch the ad we're talking about before making a fool of yourself.
I watched a couple... Would you be kind enough to send me the one you think I should watch?
Here is the original Sydney Sweeney "jeans" ad that sparked the controversy. AE took this one down and replaced it with versions that are less overt so that people who hear about the controversy will see those instead and not understand what the fuss is about, even if they are typically more clued in.
And here is the Dunkin donuts ad, which IMO is even more overt with the reference to "color analysis."
Standing alone these ads have plausible deniability, but they feature attractive white actors bragging about their good genetics in the context of the president surrounding himself with and appealing to white supremacists and RFK Jr re-popularizing eugenics.
