She used Sydney’s rump for a trauma dump.
An ex New Jersey teacher-turned-lifestyle influencer is getting roasted online for turning Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad into a therapy session, with a post claiming she feels unattractive because of her skin color — and a repost of it, calling her a “professional victim,” went viral.
“For me, I can’t help but think about the 13-year-old brown girl who gets all of her denim at American Eagle, who already struggles to see her beauty and worth in a world that continues to value white, Eurocentric beauty standards,” said Payal Desai of Medford in an Instagram video on Tuesday.
Her clip was reposted on X on Wednesday by media personality Colin Rugg — with the caption, “The professional victims are relentless” — and it’s already racked up 10.6 million views and masses of criticism.
“If your self worth crumbles at the sight of Sydney Sweeney in jeans, I’ve got news for you: The problem isn’t whiteness. It’s you,” one X user wrote.

The ONLY thing that she managed to "get" correctly, is the fact that she IS unattractive, both inside and out!
Yes, she’s Indian; but an UGLY one.
LOL!

The astronomy threads on heavenly bodies are usually elsewhere. Photo went to the wrong thread. Astronomy Picture of the Day and others.
The internet has made it so easy for whiny people with no lives to embarass themselves in front of millions instead of just a few. Gee, thanks Al Gore
😀🤣🤣
Perpetually retarded.
Barack Obama’s presidential library isn’t finished yet, but so far, it’s looking like the ugliest building ever.
Sorry, Payal. The problem is with YOU, not Sydney. Besides, your skin color and Sydney's are darn close.

Talk about being traumatized!
This Payal gal’s heart is way darker than her skin.
Real victims have NO power.
Real victims can’t wait to be freed from their oppression.
Real victims want nothing to do staying a victim.
Real victims want to only move forward, and be free of their oppressors.
Real victims don’t want to look back on their trauma.
That’s very true!
She’s not bad, at least if you don’t mind olive-skinned Sarah Jessica Parker types. At least she’s not fat.

How do they think we’ve felt the last 20+ years having to endure 95% black and brown in commercials, and 99% brown eyes? There are no words to express how much I hate, despise, abhor those people! They’re whiners and bullies.
“This Payal gal’s heart is way darker than her skin.”
+100!
