Unequal by Design: Ep 1: Genes vs. Jeans: The Dangerous Marketing Message of American Eagle

Welcome to the Morris Perspective Podcast with your host Connie Morris, where we tackle uncomfortable truths and confront the coded messages in today's media. In this episode, we interrupt our usual series to address a controversial American Eagle ad that sparks conversations around the dangerous interplay of words and imagery.

This is not just about fashion; it's about the rekindling of outdated ideologies of eugenics and racial superiority being subtly stitched into modern advertising. We go beyond the surface to uncover how certain narratives are still being perpetuated, questioning the artistic decisions that uphold these biases.

Join Connie as she dismantles the facade, unearths the historical implications, and challenges listeners to recognize and resist the systemic threads of supremacy woven into cultural fabric. Stay with us as we unravel the dialogue between denim, DNA, and identity in "Unequal by Design."
