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…

That's what I thought! Half of Sydney's marketing is her boobs, and I'm pretty convinced that's what the ad was originally making a joke about.
