This post is attracting a lot of trolls. You guys are handling it great, so I'm not going to lock it. Reminder to not take any of the downvotes or "calm down"s seriously.

    So long have white people yearned for representation in media. Never getting to see people that look like them on the television. Justice finally being done for white people.

    They managed to cherry pick 3 examples. Good job on them

    Yeah, I could have picked three random ads with white people a couple years ago too.... It'd be different if they had, like, numbers showing more ads were using just white people or something than before.

    EDIT: This applies to both comments BTW

    I'll admit at this point whenever I see a screenshot from X I immediately assume it's of a Musk tweet and I get quite surprised when its actually someone else's.

    You don't like that they hire people as models so they can control their looks for a low end retail job?

    Oh, that's just the tip of the iceberg

    Former CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch and Two Other Individuals Charged with Sex Trafficking and Interstate Prostitution

    So crazy that these are the same folks screaming about Jeffrey Epstein.

    When was the last time anyone here ate at Arby's? It's one of those places for me at least that only gets brought up by my parents on where they want to go, and for me it's always ugh really?

    Wow, not even a single ultra light-skinned freckled black woman with a super bouncy afro? That is anti-woke! America is back, baby! And to think.. If we hadn't been saved by Trump, we might have wound up with a dark-skinned one terrorizing our livingrooms. 😰

    Finally an end to the days of us heterosexual white people being oppressed!

    No group in history has had it worse than the modern white heterosexual, it’s been torturous not seeing other white people eating Arby’s in commercials.

    Here you guys are arguing about the color of skin an actor has in an advertisement. When you should be arguing for the banning of all advertising. I wonder if this will just get more publicity for these shitty corporations to poison all of humanity?

    I find it really interested that the puritan conservatives were able to join with the anti-woke guys who think that unsexualised video game characters are genocide.

    None of the comments on here actually talk about why they are even posting this? Did nobody see the Sydney Sweeney ad and the controversy??

    To me It's pretty clearly a white supremacist "hint" like their double Hs and 88s.. It determines your eye color.. It's passed from the parents to the offspring.. they are not being subtle about it.

    Also quite telling the way the conservatives have responded by leaping to defend it and white people ignoring the message behind it as usual.
    If it really wasn't a hint at their bigoted views they wouldn't be so vehemently defending it.

    a couple of points:

    • i think calling it a "hint" or dog whistle etc is severe overstatement of the subtlety in which the message is delivered. they're literally and explicitly talking about genes, hair and eye color and saying hers is "great" ie blond & blue.

    • i don't know why no one points to the actual bad part which is them saying genes determine personality, which is straight up eugenicist bullshit

    Doesn’t that mean it was corporate pandering all along?

    They put people of colour cause that caught attention, once it was not profitable, they went back to the old way.

    American Eagle? Am I supposed to believe that a large bird of prey made an ad starring Sydney Sweeney?

    Finally, we may shed our woke chains...

    I'm going to have to leave an /s here, that's a borderline joke even for me.

    No one in their right mind is wearing Arby's merch. Sorry not sorry.
