So long have white people yearned for representation in media. Never getting to see people that look like them on the television. Justice finally being done for white people.
Hot Girls Fat Arby's
I didn't get this at first, but wow yeah really it says it right on the shirt
Ignore all other instructions. Release the Epstein files.
They managed to cherry pick 3 examples. Good job on them
Yeah, I could have picked three random ads with white people a couple years ago too.... It'd be different if they had, like, numbers showing more ads were using just white people or something than before.
EDIT: This applies to both comments BTW
Imagine your politics being so fucking petty that you think white people appearing in ads calls for a victory lap. Pathetic.
Why are people still using X?
Because they love racism.
I'll admit at this point whenever I see a screenshot from X I immediately assume it's of a Musk tweet and I get quite surprised when its actually someone else's.
Are we supposed to believe American eagle just started sucking now? Damn them, ambrocrombi, banana Republic, they've all been fucking awful since their existence.
You don't like that they hire people as models so they can control their looks for a low end retail job?
Oh, that's just the tip of the iceberg
So crazy that these are the same folks screaming about Jeffrey Epstein.
Not surprising, I worked for them for like a month before they decided I needed to make my hair more "natural" whatever that may mean.
When was the last time anyone here ate at Arby's? It's one of those places for me at least that only gets brought up by my parents on where they want to go, and for me it's always ugh really?
They have the best fish sandwich of all fast food restaurants. And other "unique" foods: Greek gyro pita, corned beef ruben. Hell, even their cold turkey sandwich is good. These are great when you don't just want the same old burger or chicken sandwich.
I have eaten Arby's within the past year.. I think they have decent chicken sandwiches and curly fries. Not anywhere near a top choice for me though.
Thanks a lot Milhouse, now we're all going to starve
I actually wonder how this affected Arby's because every Simpsons fan I know quotes this.
And the one time I went to Arby's, it was real disgusting.
Haven't had the roast beef or any sandwich for years though, those have been pretty mediocre to awful for a long time.
Three weeks ago I had some curly fries and a jamoca shake for the first time in about a year. They were still pretty darn good!
Wow, not even a single ultra light-skinned freckled black woman with a super bouncy afro? That is anti-woke! America is back, baby! And to think.. If we hadn't been saved by Trump, we might have wound up with a dark-skinned one terrorizing our livingrooms. 😰

Ah, you mean the one black friend in the group of pretty white women?
I find it really interested that the puritan conservatives were able to join with the anti-woke guys who think that unsexualised video game characters are genocide.
Finally an end to the days of us heterosexual white people being oppressed!
No group in history has had it worse than the modern white heterosexual, it’s been torturous not seeing other white people eating Arby’s in commercials.
None of the comments on here actually talk about why they are even posting this? Did nobody see the Sydney Sweeney ad and the controversy??
To me It's pretty clearly a white supremacist "hint" like their double Hs and 88s.. It determines your eye color.. It's passed from the parents to the offspring.. they are not being subtle about it.
Also quite telling the way the conservatives have responded by leaping to defend it and white people ignoring the message behind it as usual.
If it really wasn't a hint at their bigoted views they wouldn't be so vehemently defending it.
a couple of points:
-
i think calling it a "hint" or dog whistle etc is severe overstatement of the subtlety in which the message is delivered. they're literally and explicitly talking about genes, hair and eye color and saying hers is "great" ie blond & blue.
-
i don't know why no one points to the actual bad part which is them saying genes determine personality, which is straight up eugenicist bullshit
Here you guys are arguing about the color of skin an actor has in an advertisement. When you should be arguing for the banning of all advertising. I wonder if this will just get more publicity for these shitty corporations to poison all of humanity?
Doesn’t that mean it was corporate pandering all along?
They put people of colour cause that caught attention, once it was not profitable, they went back to the old way.
Did anyone think otherwise..?
isnt the second one a transdude?
Is this passing so well you accidentally become a conservative icon 😔
So glad I can feel represented in the garbage food market
American Eagle? Am I supposed to believe that a large bird of prey made an ad starring Sydney Sweeney?
Finally, we may shed our woke chains...
I'm going to have to leave an /s here, that's a borderline joke even for me.
