When American Eagle launched its fall campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney with the cheeky tagline “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,” the expected outrage frenzy was immediate.
In the ad, the 27-year-old actress says, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My jeans are blue.”
It’s a pun, a play on the words genes and jeans, as even the Los Angeles Times acknowledged.
Critics accused the spot of echoing eugenic or white supremacist rhetoric because Sweeney is blonde, blue-eyed, and framed as genetically “blue.” Some even labeled it “Nazi propaganda."
Yet the real shock was how the backlash backfired.
American Eagle’s stock price surged, delivering triple‑digit millions to shareholders and a renewed sense of brand vitality.
It was also a big middle finger to flummoxed leftists who thought boycotts and social media outrage would bring American Eagle to its knees, groveling for forgiveness amidst promises to do better, along with large donations to Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton’s grift operations.

“Contrast that with Jaguar’s fate. In late 2024, Jaguar launched an edgy rebrand without any cars. Instead, it featured a Hunger Games cast with abstract designs and flamboyant visuals described as “diverse,” “avant-garde,” and social-justice oriented. It failed spectacularly.
In April 2025, European sales plummeted 97 percent, with only 49 vehicles sold across the continent compared to nearly 1,961 the previous year. To consumers, it seemed like tone-deaf virtue signaling where sales vanished, prestige collapsed, and brand value diminished. Last week, its CEO got the boot. “
"Jeans" and "genes" are homophones. Words that sound alike but are spelled differently.
I, for one, despise homophonia.
They should look for eugenics closer to home. Like in Planned Parenthood clinics maybe? Or Hillary Clinton’s office who idolizes PP founder Margaret Sanger who was also admired by non other than Adolf Hitler and whose mission statement was “Extermination of blacks by abortion”.

Oh, I like that! That’s great!
I’m wondering when the American Eagle assaults will begin...
Let’s not give the evil leftists any ideas now!
Betcha Musk is sniffing around.
Ref the picture:
the one on the right is where you want to land at night.
The one on the left watch out for the cliff.

The HOODRATS hate it, the "normal" blacks LOVE it and it's a flip side to the AE commercial. And many black YouTube content creators are doing videos on it, to counter the GHETTO TiK Tok crap from the usual suspects.
So maybe, just MAYBE,many Americans have grown fed up to their collective back teeth, with all of the lefty/WOKE garbage and are fighting back now.
wait till they realize her initials are “SS” LOL
Good for Ralph Lauren! The extremely obese black female is not something that should be celebrated. It’s unhealthy.
No twerking, no obese,nearly naked women, no wigs/weaves/tats/piercings/bonnets/dorags and it shows intact families of three generations!
I started watching many ( over 60 different ones ) black CONSERVATIVE content creators during the primaries and the election. And I still do watch quite a few of them. That's how I know about this.
And “Herself” also introduced the Warlock DeLuxe, George Soros, lavishing praise in some demonic Elitist confab.
I detest them all…
The left can go into their outrage mode over such absurd things.
She’s in an ad for jeans, and there is mention of her genes. Jeans and genes. So we have a play on words.
Because of this, there is outrage on the left.
Unbelievable.....
“I started watching many ( over 60 different ones ) black CONSERVATIVE content creators during the primaries and the election.”
I did as well. There are several good ones.
