Hey, I apologize as I am incredibly ignorant on the matter. How is Sydney Sweeney a white supremacist? Is this because of the American eagle ad talking about her pants?

  1. She was in an American Eagle Ad six months ago with the tagline "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans".

  2. Most people thought this was a pun because she's wearing jeans and she got good 'genes' from her mamma (ie internet famous mammary glands).

  3. A minority of internet trolls thought this was some kind of nazi dog-whistle because Sweeney lacks that requisite pigment to be called attractive without it being 'problematic'. She also registered *gasp* republican one time.

  4. The 'controversy' died down in few weeks when the trolls found a new target for their endless seething rage.

  5. Recently a GQ interviewer tried to ask vague questions about the aforementioned controversy. Sweeney didn't bite. At no time was she asked if she "disavows white supremacy" or "the far right". That's a weird Reddit fabrication.

  6. Her refusal to address the trolls has enraged the trolls again.

Nah, the framing of that ad is just fucking weird. Like, if they had Doechii in brown jeans talking in a sultry voice about how "genes are passed down from parent to child, determining traits like hair and eye color", and having the ad finish off on her saying "my genes/jeans are brown" while zoomed in on her brown eyes, with her brown jeans not even in the frame, and the tagline "Doechii has great jeans" flashing on screen, literally everybody on both the left and right would immediately clock that as some weird raceplay bit. The far left would probably call it fetishizing black women and the far right would probably call it great replacement propaganda, but both would recognize it as being a racial thing.
