On the subject of the now famous American Eagle jeans campaign with Sidney Sweeney, a Senior Lecturer in Marketing at Adelaide Business School wrote this:
I don’t work at a Business School, so most people around me wouldn’t express themselves so clumsily. But they do share the sentiment. And still, I love them, I work with them, and I’m coexisting daily with their nuttiness.
Tomorrow we have one of those day-long training sessions that led me to self-mutilate last year. This time, we are asked to wear Hawaiian shirts to the event. I’m obviously not going to wear a Hawaiian shirt but sitting all day long across a bunch of people in their fifties and sixties dressed in Hawaiian shirts is the visual equivalent of reading Amelie Burgess’s prose. So let nobody ever claim that right-wingers are intolerant.

This is one of the worst instances of making mountains out of molehills I’ve ever seen, the people complaining about the ad either don’t hang around normal people or really hate white people. Sydney Sweeney is the current Hollywood blond bombshell who men drool over and American Eagle jeans using her in their ads is genius, she’s already brought in more sales and stocks for the company.
These folks don’t understand that advertisements for clothes using good looking people are a lot more popular than ads that use ugly people. American Eagle jeans are expensive and using a pretty and popular actress in their ads is a great idea, men want to see pretty women and women want to emulate a popular actress. They’re probably jealous that Sweeney is a conventionally attractive blond woman and that she’s thankfully apolitical, I haven’t heard her say anything about politics or social issues and she’s just living her life and acting

There’s a fresh scandal brewing, with a white male actor posing in a Dunkin Donuts ad. The libs are inflamed, promising to quit drinking Dunkin Donuts coffee. As if they ever did drink it.

LOL, these types would never go to Dunkin Donuts so I don’t know why they’re complaining. Dunkin Donuts is where many police officers get coffee and donuts and where people get the boxes of Munchkins for a kids birthday party, the sorts of people upset over the ad wouldn’t be caught dead in a fast food joint popular with cops and kids

Exactly. No designer lattes with oat milk, whatever that is? They’ll avoid it like the plague.

Hah, I do like a good latte once in a while but they don’t have that at Dunkin Donuts, they have big cups of hot strong coffee and sweet donuts popular with kids, it’s the best place to get a hot breakfast before a road trip. So they’re complaining about a fast food place they’ll never visit, they’d never go there or any other fast food place so they’re just being annoying

Easiest boycott ever, though. Virtue points without having to do anything!

The funny thing is that the ad does not imply that any particular group has bad genes. So, just what are the people calling it racist implying?
In any case, the ad is working. I don’t even watch ads and before yesterday I essentially forgot that American Eagle existed.

They always end up saying the quiet part out loud. 😆😆😆 “Good genes” to the just has to mean that blacks are inferior. Because deep inside, they do think blacks are inferior and have to be treated like invalids.

Funny how anyone still believes a business school professor has anything useful to say about actual business. If the saying “those who can’t, teach” fits anywhere, it’s in this field.
On a related note, have you heard about the Francesca Gino scandal? Harvard Business School “superstar,” global thought leader blah blah. Turns out she literally made everything up. One of her big claims was that if you ask people to sign a form at the beginning rather than the end, they’ll be less likely to lie. The Obama administration spent millions redesigning forms based on that expert recommendation. All cooked up lmao.

Dude. I was tortured for an hour in a training session about this stupid idea of signing the form at the beginning. We were told we had to make students sigh the syllabi on the top. Obviously, I never adopted that practice because it would be embarrassing.
This stupidity tends to mushroom in liberal circles.

Hot privilege is the only real privilege in this world and the one privilege that commies have no ideas on how to redistribute. Therefore, beauty is “fascism” for these ugly freaks.

When did “diverse” become a synonym for “non-white”?

While I’m usually sympathetic to those who oppose eugenicists (I freaking hate eugenicists), sometimes a jean ad is just a jean ad. And with all due respect to Ms. Sweeney and her studied vocal fry, the ultimate jean commercial would still be Brooke Shields–“You know what comes between me and my Calvins…?”
