These aren't just commercials with "white representation," they are promoting eugenics. Seriously, go watch them. It's not even subtle.
Edit: getting downvoted on Lemmy for rightly pointing out that these ads are evoking eugenicist ideas is not what I expected. I thought Lemmy was more tuned in than this. Having white actors bragging about their superior genes goes beyond just being "white representation" and is instead a white supremacist and eugenicist dogwhistle. You guys really think that's a reach? Have you just not seen the full ads and are only reacting to this image?
Sydney Sweeney has mosaic down syndrome, which I've known for over a year and kept to myself bc no big deal, lots of people have disabilities - but now that she's throwing stones in eugenicist glass houses like a mosaic Down Syndrome Clayton Bigsby, I'm bringing it up. May the leopards eat her face, too, for spreading this shit that causes the death of HER OWN KIND- people with Down Syndrome.
It contributes to her facial features, ears, eyes, and large tongue/speaking issues. She even has the cleft in her tongue and the toe separation. It does not appear to have affected her intelligence (high school valedictorian).
Below - current pic of Sydney, pic of girl w confirmed mosaic down syndrome, pic of Sydney before plastic surgery/injectables, pic of descriptive features of down syndrome:
She looks more like that stranger than her own literal family.
Man, I wish I had mosaic down syndrome...
Or at least big boobs...
EDIT: Wait, did I say that out loud?
You can pay to look like that if you want.
