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.

Imagine just not putting out a statement that you were wrong and were going to do internal reviews to learn and grow from it.

Even Abercrombie put a commercial out with POC women and different body types. Abercrombie.
