The latest American Eagle campaign, the brand’s most expensive one to date, was met with much negativity online.

They claimed it had the kind of tone used to glorify whiteness, thinness, and other traits perceived as superior in some cultures.
It’s “modern day N*zi propaganda,” some said.

“Anyone else see that (not so) subliminal white supremacy (N*zi) propaganda American Eagle commercial that Sydney Sweeney did? Literally hinting about blue eyes and ‘ good jeans ’ (genes) it’s concerning. I always knew she was racist,” one claimed online.
But others defended the ad, with one saying: “So Sydney Sweeney is being compared to n*zis now because of a clever ad saying her genes are good like American Eagle jeans? You people are so miserable it’s actually sad.”
