My question is, where does one purchase a pair of superior jeans, and are they really as durable as the name implies?

...or is there some other aspect that makes said jeans superior?

My Jeans have an elastic waist. Do I have the superior jeans now ?

Not one race, nor any race is better, if you believe one race is above others, if you believe skin colour is predictive of anything, you are the inferior person over all others, because you are an idiot for believing bullshit. You're not intelligent enough to get over propaganda.

No one can claim superior jeans

My jeans are pretty awesome. They're actually durable, like good jeans should be. IDK what happened to Levi, but they suck these days. Don't know my brand off hand... Something Bay, or whatever.

Oh dear, a "Slavs aren't white" take.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I don't know about the Slavs, but tbf, the "white" race and the categorisation and conceptualisation of race itself has been arbitrary from the beginning. Not long ago, the Italians and Irish weren't considered white. Who goes where depends on the person making the categorisation. The English despised the Irish and Iberians, so both were lumped together as "Irish Iberian".

American Eagle probably doesn't make good jeans. They didn't 20 years ago last i went in that store. I don't see why saying someone has good genes is inherently racist though. That model from the ad is proportioned in a way that sells clothes or whatever. I don't see how it's different than saying a body builder that is symmetrical and well proportioned has good genes. No one thinks it's racist to say Ronnie Coleman has good genes (and no one doubts it. ) Or LeBron James (whose son is also a pro athlete.) If AA had used a brown model the controversy would be the same except replace racist with great replacement. Outrage drives engagement and that sells pants. American Eagle is working hand in glove with Trump to distract from the disastrous economy and sex traffiking.
