[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyway. Just wear your American eagle outfit in all its glory.  Sounds like the perfect fit for you.[/quote]

Ok. Go protest outside of St Patrick's Day parades about how everyone should be ashamed.  [/quote]

Lol.  I'm marching in the parade along with my red-headed kids.  I'm not telling them they have good genes because they have auburn hair and blue eyes.[/quote]

So it's okay for you and your kids but not other types of Europeans. Got it. [/quote]

I think you're ignorant to suggest that racism is not still very present in this country.  I don't like the way the American eagle ad campaign talks about genetics.  And I'm entitled to my opinion.  You do you.[/quote]

I never said that. Racism very much exists in this nation, as demonstrated in this thread. But the fact that racism exists doesn't mean that white people can't feel good about their heritage in the same way everyone else does. There's nothing wrong with being white or European. [/quote]

You just refuse to engage with the genetics part of this conversation.   Is there something right or good about being white as opposed to wrong or bad?  If you think that, then you think that.

My really close Brazilian friend does not feel good about that heritage because of the Brazilian genes.  It's the family, the people, the language, the culture, the music, the food and on and on.  The day this friend starts telling me that Brazilians have the good genes and the good eye color is the day I might rethink the friendship.

I refuse to engage because it's an absurd read of what she said:

"Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color". She then looks at the camera and adds, "My jeans are blue."

She never said she has blue eyes and blonde hair. She never talked about what genes are good or bad. The ad closes with "Sidney Sweeney has good genes."  Which is a euphemism for big breasts, but you saw it as a euphemism for race-based murder. That is a demented, deranged interpretation.

If Ms Sweeney actually got in front of a camera and said, "I'm white with blonde hair and blue eyes, which means I am better than you," then I would have a problem with that. She didnt say that. The outrage is over the very suggestion that a white person could have "good genes" because European blood is somehow tainted in the liberal mind. [/quote]
