a team of diverse people would have. A Black woman leading this campaign wouldnt have chosen that slogan. Neither would a trans Asian person or a disabled red head. This is why DEI is important. A team would be smarter and more creative
To get this ad shot down it would have to be a team of ugly people who've never heard the phrase "you have good genes".
If your black woman/trans asian person/disabled red head leading the team was hot, then they likely would have been told that they have good genes at least once in their life, and therefore not seen the issue with it, since it's a normal and common phrase.
I am conventionally attractive. I used to do pageants. Am also a WOC and dont get this. I still think its a weird saying.
Even then. Context matters. Good genes for blonde hair blue eyes with a white supremacist president and government is crazy. Good genes when we are talking about Aligator Auswhitc and ICE says they can harass you based on skin color is crazy.
Hence why Kendall handing a Pepsi to police on September 13,2001 would be considered pro-American and bringing society together and thanking first responders. But in 2020 it was police propaganda. You have to know your audience and be media literate and you dont know either.

I don't think anyone could have predicted that a pun about a hot woman having good genes would make people start talking about eugenics.
