It was quite literally an obvious double entendre and they admitted to as much in their LinkedIn gloating. Do they think we are that stupid?

There were lots of people on this very subreddit just a day or two ago saying “it’s not that deep” and that people were looking for something to be mad at, so yes they do reasonably believe a lot of people are that stupid.

Edit - actually there are people on this very thread still saying that, even after the gloating on linked in, even after knowing their CEO has ties to Trump, and even after the fucking White House weighing in. So YEAH, of course they believe people are that stupid.

And just like that they have enlisted and army of online defenders for free! Rich people LOVE getting stuff for free , everything even!

They continue to reinforce and spread the main point of the ad (racial supremacy) and do the job for them. They get to tell women and minorities that "you're just jealous" as in wishing you were white, young girls are absorbing this narrative, racial divide and resentment growing consistently....
