    I think their response is a big part of it. Rather than going “It wasn’t our intention to bring race into this” they essentially just went “What’s the big deal guuuuuys? It’s just jeans! That’s all we meant, right? Good jeans? Haha, you guys get it!”

    And every dog within a 10 mile radius started howling.

      Well doh, of course. Bad publicity is still publicity and a little controversy never hurt anyone badly.

      Everyone and their mother is talking about these jeans commercials now and I guarantee you that the brand is making bank right now thanks to all these dweebs needing to behave the exact fucking crazy way as the right was doing with their conspiracy theory bullshit.

      Stop being dumb, just let it go. Its a marketing campaign where if you strong enough red cords, ooohhh, Nazis! They selected a white girl because they needed something blue, so blue eyes, so yeah, that is mostly white girls due to genetics.

      Had they found a pretty black girl with blue eyes they could have gone with that. Did the final selection went for a blonde, white girl because of trump? Who fucking knows and who fucking cares.

      There are bigger issues that are blatant and right in your face

      For example, we could all be talking about the Epstein files but curiously every news organization is now talking about this bullshit.

      Trump tried starting wars, threatened WWIII with Russia, nothing worked to distract from the evidence that he’s a pedophile. If only he had known that all it would take is a fucking dumb jeans commercial…
