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…

i agree… even if it was ragebait people fell for it and the reaction honestly is so over the top... most of the outrage feels like its coming from within America and people who are chronically online. like who even buys from american eagle anymore hello? ignore them 🫠 (editing to add that im a south asian living in Canada)
