An advertisement featuring American actress Sydney Sweeney promoting American Eagle jeans has sparked allegations of racism due to its use of the word 'gene' – which can mean both jeans and genetic material in English. Critics have linked the ad to white supremacy and eugenics, while defenders argue it is just a play on words. Donald Trump supported Sweeney, a registered Republican, which coincided with a significant rise in American Eagle's stock value. Sydney Sweeney is known for her roles in TV series such as 'Euphoria' and 'The White Lotus'.
