AntiSocial: Sydney Sweeney, Jeans and Genes

Series 10, episode 5

A jeans advert featuring the American actress Sydney Sweeney talking about her 'good genes' provoked fierce reaction - and then came the backlash to the backlash. Some people say the advertisement promotes a eugenicist ideal of blonde hair and blue eyes. Others say it's a sign that the days of diversity in the advertising industry are over. Adam Fleming investigates whether 'woke' is dead, and what the controversy reveals about how brands use culture to get buyers' attention
