American Eagle Sparks Debate with 'Genes' Ad
Reading
American Eagle made a new ad with Sydney Sweeney. The company wanted the ad to be very interesting and different. The ad used some words that some people did not like.
The ad was called “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans”. Some people started talking about race because of the ad. They also talked about what is seen as beautiful in America.
Some people thought the ad used the word “genes” in a bad way. They thought it was like talking about eugenics. Eugenics is an old idea about making people better by choosing who can have babies.
One professor said the ad could have been better. He said it should have shown different kinds of people. Another person said people were thinking too much about the ad.
American Eagle has not said anything about the ad. Some people also noticed a similar ad by Dunkin'. Both ads have made people talk about race and beauty.
