As a Latino seeing the add was weird. I guess American Eagle is for white people. It instantly made me feel excluded. The add is so wrong. It promotes white supremacy. It’s so bad.

I think it has a lot to do with the dehumanization of brown immigrants

This but also Palestinians are very diverse in terms of phenotype. I saw a video today of two ginger Palestinian children with freckles. Palestinians come in all colors. But I totally agree.

I saw ppl downplaying it and saying that the woke are "reaching" and jealous bc she's pretty and I thought now THAT'S reaching. They're literally upholding the insinuation that being blond and blue eyed is something to be"jealous" of

If you’re not uncomfortable by this add. You need to seriously self reflect. I’m white and this was sooo disturbing to me. It’s so sad. It’s clearly so racist. And so objectifying to women. The entire add is belittling to people of color. And women!

I saw someone who used to work for American Eagle's marketing team talking about just how many people had to see this before it got approved. They KNEW the message they were sending.

Bro, she is a natural brunette. The ad would have been the same if it was an Asian, Mexican, Japanese etc. The ad took the it model of the day. Stock up 10% and it's trending. Find something else to get mad about

Did I miss something? The ad didn’t mention her hair, eyes, or skin. Good jeans (genes) could refer to a miriad of things, not just skin, hair, eyes. Ex height, health,and intellect. Even further everyone has their own definition of what good genes are, and I feel they left it open to interpretation. Just offering a different perspective bc it seems you made an assumption. It’s a cute double entendre imo

Having white skin was an adaptation to living in regions that didn’t get very much sunlight. If you had lots of melanin, you would be vitamin D deficient. The ad never says her jeans are better than other people’s jeans because she’s white blonde hair blue eyes. It just says she has great jeans because she’s objectively attractive.

I still don’t see an issue with the ad. Blondes with blue eyes are allowed to be in commercials…. Was it objectifying? Yes, but calling it a “promotion of eugenics” is insane.
