If the far-Left’s attack on actress Sydney Sweeney’s new ad for American Eagle isn’t the most intellectually embarrassing event of the year, it must be close.
The blonde, blue-eyed beauty pitches the company’s jeans. Because the ads importune viewers to buy “good jeans” by playing on the idea of “good genes,” Sweeney is guilty of promoting “whiteness,” “white supremacy,” and, of course, “Nazi propaganda.”
Presumably we are to believe that Sweeney, who appeared in the hysterical leftist dystopian TV program The Handmaid’s Tale, now advocates Aryan racial purity, with a little Lebensraum thrown in.
Madness, yes. But the Left never lets a crackpot, manufactured crisis go to waste.
“Unbridled Cultural Shift Toward Whiteness”
“Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color,” she says in one ad. “My jeans are blue.”
A narrator adds: “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.” Other ads also tout Sweeney’s “great jeans.”
The woke mob had its target.
One of the hysterics in the mob is Hannah Holland, a producer at MSNBC.
Sweeney “is featured doing all sorts of Americana things in her American Eagle denim — like leaning over the hood of a white Mustang or lying on the floor holding a long-haired German shepherd puppy,” Holland warned:
At the end of each video, an off-screen voice speaks over blocky letters declaring that Sweeney — blonde, blue-eyed and white — “has great jeans.” The wordplay was made even more explicit when American Eagle posted a video of Sweeney standing in front of a poster bearing her likeness with the word “genes” crossed out and replaced with “jeans.”…

Has msnbc commented on the anisemetic threats from the mobs at the ivies, Columbia? Anyone? Bueller?

Rules!
Don’t you get tired of this liberal crap? They never learn.
In that picture it is clear that she is checking me out.
I like the way you’re holding yourself back.
Absolutely creating a problem WHERE none exists!
As noted in another article “everyone is a Nazi except people killing Jews”.
If you look real close at the button of the jeans, you’ll see a Waffen SS symbol engraved on it.
“Racist” has become as ubiquitous as the word “the” in Leftoid language.
Targeting a desired demographic for a product is as old as advertising.
You don’t see Mercedes Benz ads at the NASCAR races, because they know that audience is not going to buy their product.
Putting a beautiful woman in an ad for women’s clothing is as normal as can be. The fact that it’s a Caucasian woman means more of the potential customer base will identify with that.
How that makes it nazi or racist is only through the lens of post modern ultra leftist viewpoint.
Today’s woke hysteria is jeans.
I can’t imagine designing a bingo card for what the left will get their panties in a knot over next.
As the camera focuses on her blue eyes.
Let's be honest. They knew they were pushing these buttons, as did Sweeney, who freely went along with it ("Jeans. See what I did there?" she quips in one of the ads.)
Personally, I think the ads are great. I've posted a few threads about them. Click on the sidneysweeney keyword. They're doing what an ad is supposed to do. Cause controversy, get people to talk about them in the national discourse, and ultimately, raise sales.
The added bonus is that they're pissing off the most insufferable people amongst us, people who are having a very difficult time accepting that the vibe has shifted.

Yep. And also creating hate for no reason.
I’ve told this story before:
A while back I was out for a walk. And I happened to walk by a bus stop where two older black men were sitting and talking. As I passed, I heard one man say to the other that most white people belong to the Ku Klux Klan.

Why does that black guy think like that? It’s because of folks like those at MSNBC. They deliberately try to worsen the racial divide.
She is hoping she lost you... actually
Jeans for white women fit white women (medium derriere). American Eagle is the new Gloria Vanderbilt, I hope. Jeans for black women are cut differently (big derriere) and also some brands for Asians (flat derriere). The Left needs to take a grow up pill - there is no one size fits all in blue jeans for women. What next, white tennis shoes are raciss?
It’s even a WHITE Mustang! OMG!!!!
Why don’t they just make it illegal to be White and get it over with? Or start loading us into the boxcars. You know they want to. They couldn’t talk about any other race the way they talk about Whites. What’s it going to be like when Whites are an even smaller percentage of the population? What will it be like for our kids and grandkids? About time we started thinking about it.
