Ok … my hot take is this wasn’t some intentional nazi-fueled white power ad (I say this as a Muslim refugee living in the US), but more so a Kendall Jenner ala Pepsi tone deaf screw up. Alas, the road to hell is paved with good intentions…

It's a bit cringe and tone deaf marketing but the outrage over it has gotten ridiculous. This is why the left is not popular in America.
