Can someone explain to me how it's racist? Saying she has great genes is like saying she's sexy, right? It's a double entandra. They could put a hot minority in those jeans and make the same exact ad. If there's more to it, please...

That's it tho? That's the whole thing? Yea, I get it. It just seems like nothing. She's pretty. Good genes is a compliment to her looks. Blonde white girls are still allowed to get compliments, right? Does society have to cast blonde white girls as having bad genes? Help me here

Should people contribute willingly to what is an obvious viral marketing campaign ?

The coverage of the supposed "outrage" was pretty transparently an attempt at a distraction from the Epstein files.

At Nuremberg, Nazi defendants pointed to America’s own eugenics laws to defend their racial policies.

Could be because the Left didn't care about it. It's more likely that those in the far-Right media manufactured the outrage to then have outrage over.

It is tone deaf, but the faux outrage is virtue signaling. America Eagle more likely using it as a euphemism for good tits (for example). The extreme outrage plays into the hands of the Right. Sometimes malevolence is just incompetence.

Possibly they polled only in rural areas Also b/c only 24% of Americans are smart enough to know genes is a homophone of jeans and thus be offended (other 12% who know r racist AF and LOVED commercial) Rest of the country doesn’t know definition because they saw homo in beginning and are too bigoted

Sounds about white. After this absolutely intentional eugenics outreach to MAGA, stock prices went up. But, foot-traffic in stores fell severely & marketing VPs say when a "brand sees momentum stall so sharply, it often reflects a reputational or cultural factor cutting through to consumers.” Good!
