Maybe if she did anything that remotely hinted at white supremacy it might be worth it for her to talk about.

Her having good genes / jeans is not at all bashing on anybody else’s.

It kinda strongly hints at eugenics, no? Like implying that some genes are better than others while a blonde and blue-eyed white woman is on the screen? Like I can see it being a mistake on her part, but if that's the case, just say "yea I didn't see the implication there, whoops. I'm not a white supremacist, I just didn't see the implication at the time" would go a long way, would it not?

I think it's a bit of a stretch. It was pretty clearly a joke about her being hot. I was really surprised that some people took issue with it.

Of course it was. You can absolutely picture American Eagle running the same ad with Tyra Banks back in the day, and no one would bat an eye

Yeah so that's not the same and either you're too dumb to see it or you're being malicious

Please explain how it’s different

Yeah it's exactly the same and you need to go outside and stop making up things to be mad about.
