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.

    I don't know if she has the condition you are talking about or not, but I do know that some of the features that result from down syndrome makes a person appear more "child like". Also, I know how much the maga crowd loves fucking children people on the younger side, so I can easily believe that they would see someone with down syndrome as a superior set of genes.

    I'm not going to explain much. WW2 happened forever ago, if you refuse to understand the context of a white girl with blue eyes saying she has great genes, whose dad is a Trumper from racist Spokane, doing an ad for a CEO who is a Trumper and whose son is doing a real estate deal for Trump, who is a blatant white supremacist that had Hitler's speeches on his bedside table and leading the blatantly racist MAGA movement... With Trump and JD Vance both coming to defend her, more than JD ever did for the harassment his own wife faced... That's on you.

    The ad could've had more than one actress and said, "We have great genes/jeans." It could have celebrated diversity. It didn't, because their CEO is a white supremacist who teamed up with a white supremacist to make a white supremacist ad.

    From what I've gathered. She's white, blonde, and blue-eyed. The ad says, she has good "jeans" which, without the text, could be interpreted as "genes".

    Seriously, watch the ad we're talking about before making a fool of yourself.

    Here is the original Sydney Sweeney "jeans" ad that sparked the controversy. AE took this one down and replaced it with versions that are less overt so that people who hear about the controversy will see those instead and not understand what the fuss is about, even if they are typically more clued in.

    And here is the Dunkin donuts ad, which IMO is even more overt with the reference to "color analysis."

    Standing alone these ads have plausible deniability, but they feature attractive white actors bragging about their good genetics in the context of the president surrounding himself with and appealing to white supremacists and RFK Jr re-popularizing eugenics.

    Edit: I personally haven't seen the Arby's one, and I'm not going to go looking for it. This bullshit has me feeling angry and bitter precisely because it is meant to fly under the radar for most people and make those calling it out sound crazy. I'm going to touch grass instead of further torturing myself.
