The woke mob is at it again. This time they are attacking actress Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle for a simple jeans commercial. The outrage over a harmless clothing ad shows just how far the left has lost its mind.
American Eagle launched a new campaign featuring Sweeney with the tagline “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.” It was a clever play on words about jeans versus genes. But liberal critics immediately screamed that this was somehow promoting eugenics and white supremacy.
The left claims that using a blonde, blue-eyed actress is racist and promotes harmful genetics ideas. They say the phrase “great genes” has evil historical meanings. These people see racism and hate in everything, even a clothing commercial with a pretty actress.
This is peak woke insanity. American Eagle picked a popular, talented actress to sell their jeans. That is called smart marketing, not eugenics. Every company has the right to choose attractive spokespeople for their products.
The critics also complained that the ad lacked diversity. They want every commercial to be a perfect rainbow of different races and backgrounds. God forbid a company just picks the best person for the job without checking diversity boxes first.
Sydney Sweeney did nothing wrong except be successful and beautiful. The actress has worked hard to build her career and deserves these opportunities. The left wants to punish her for being white and attractive, which is truly disgusting.
This controversy shows how the woke police want to control every aspect of American life. They cannot even let people enjoy a simple jeans commercial without finding something to complain about. Their constant outrage is exhausting and hurts real progress.
Americans need to push back against this madness. We should support companies like American Eagle that refuse to bow to woke pressure. And we should celebrate talented people like Sydney Sweeney who represent the best of American success and beauty.
