Seems the lunatic left is losing their minds that ads contain very attractive white people that appear to be heterosexual. And they are even saying these ads are "Nazi Propaganda!".
Ads are for eagle jeans and dunkin donuts. Unreal.

I've certainly noticed a trend to using people of color (e.g., not caucasian). I wonder if caucasian models are feeling like they are being left out.

Sex sells. The leftist crying the hardest are the obese unattractive blue haired tattooed nose ring lesbian types that are screaming nazi propaganda (and they don't even know what a nazi is).
It's marketing, pure and simple.

A link might be nice...

And tbh, I don't even *get* the objection to the Dunkin ad. The Eagle ad that they said was the most controversial is nothing but a badly made pun - that almost smells like it was AI-generated. A human ad writer should have instantly seen that it didn't work. Guess someone was desperate.
It seems that some people on the left have nothing better to do than hunt for imagined offenses.

Sums it up fairly well

American Eagle Jeans saw their market cap rise $400 million dollars on this ad campaign.

I stream everything as most do, but still see some ads. Almost ALL feature only Blacks, a mixed race Black/White couple, and/or Gays.
It's as if Heterosexual Whites DON'T EXIST in America. It's insulting, misleading, and exists purely to drive a destabilizing AGENDA.

There was a shift in the advertising world to "I want to see people who look like me in ads." So there was a drive to show large, "of color", sexually ambiguous, people to cover everyone who might see an ad. However, I believe that advertising always has been and should be "I want to look like the people in the ads so I'll buy that product." Thus healthy, fit, sexy, successful models. A hot blonde... sure! But you can also have hot black, Asian, Hispanic chicks in jeans too. Yeah, I want to be like the Most Interesting Man in the World so I'm attracted to the product. Not some sexually ambiguous freak overflowing too-tight jeans who is only there to be "inclusive".

Yes but I think it’s even simpler than that. I heard Jordan Peterson say, “beauty is very important” and I don’t remember what he said about why. But here’s why I think it is. When we see a beautiful person we get a shot of dopamine or endorphins, whatever neurotransmitters just make us feel good. Not sexual, although it can be if it’s the sex you’re attracted to, but even if it’s not, people just love to see beauty.
Our lizard brain associates those good feelings with something good that we move toward. And so we are more likely to buy the product. We aren’t conscious of this but I assert that is the main mechanism by which it works. Ugliness has the reverse effect. Things we perceive as ugly we associate with danger or ill health and weakness which is the same thing to our primitive brain, because for our survival we need to associate with others who are strong and healthy.
I think the idea that if I buy this product I’ll look like her(him) is also there.
The people that see the ad and are enraged are sick. They react abnormally, and it is identity politic jealousy. Hate white people, hate non-obese people, hate straight people: They see everything through that lens and it is destructive to our survival as a group. It’s a lot of very sick people wanting to drag down the rest of us.

Not surprising at all. So-called "conventional" beauty sells. As does sex.

I think you're right. It's that simple. I see something I like, I get a shot of "feel good" and associate that with the product. A sleek shiny new aircraft, a juicy steak, a hot chick. Yeah, all that makes me feel good. Then the "can I afford it" kicks in...

American Eagle has apparently not said one way or the other, either (if this article from a Pakistani paper is to be believed)...

Sydney Sweeney is the real deal. Firearms enthusiast, great shot, (watch the YouTube vids of her shooting), restores old cars, grounded , a very hard worker, and is beautiful. She can shoot at my gun range any day.
