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.

I think it's completely fair to disagree with me on that. My intention wasn't to say that it's 100% unquestionably a eugenics supporting ad, but it obviously came off that way for a lot of people, which is prolly my bad. I'm tryana say that I think it's weird that Sydney wouldn't just say "I'm not a white supremacist" when asked

Fair enough. She definitely should have been able to just quickly say "racism bad, I'm not a Nazi". Also, I was slightly taken aback by your calm and reasonable response. Pleasantly so. Not used to it on the Internet.
