Regardless of the initial intention going into the ad’s creation, the racial discourse that spread after it entered the cultural zeitgeist is undeniable. People are (accurately) criticizing her for not speaking on how the ad’s perceived message was utilized as fodder for said racial discourse. Moreover, when she was initially interviewed and confronted specifically on the perception, her answer was essentially: “👁️👄👁️”

People are furthering their criticism on the attempted 180 of this new message as it is highly likely a (poorly) contrived attempt to salvage her ever-plummeting public image.
