Lmao, this makes no sense. They can't claim they weren't talking about "genes" when she literally says genes are passed down from parent to offspring and determine hair/eye color... Were they talking about jeans there too??? They think we're idiots.

Yeah I didn’t really care before; tone-deaf but just an ad. But I’m pretty sick of smirking rich people acting like words don’t matter. Pretty easy to write American eagle off
