Nowhere is being a Nazi defined by blue eyes or blonde hair so the idea that someone should be penalized for it is ridiculous.  Even if it was defined by that, no one should be made to feel ashamed of their DNA, which is what people are trying to do here.  This is absolutely an attempt to shame her for her features.  If the model had been Iranian--who were also accepted by the Nazi party--with dark eyes and hair then no one would be saying a word about it.  If she were overweight then the same people slamming her would be cheering her instead.

Personally, I don't think a person should be attacked for something that happened a long time ago, especially when her ancestors weren't even a part of it. 

I mean, telling someone else they can't do something because of their eye and hair color sounds more in line with Nazi beliefs than anything.

You know exactly what the relationship between Nazism and blonde hair and blue eyes is.

You've added so many things to what I've said but to address anyway:

Sydney should not be ashamed of her DNA.

I've explicitly said no one should be a poster child for great genes meaning your last statement is irrelevant.

If Iranians were part of the "superior race" idea of Nazism this would be just as bad.

I'm not attacking her I'm attacking the creators of the campaign. The holocaust had nothing to do with Sydney. 

Okay now we've addressed all of the points I didn't even make.

Are you at least going to acknowledge anything I've said regarding a huge rise in nazi ideology, anti-Semitism and holocaust denial and in the context of society right now that this isn't a bit weird? Or at least tone deaf?

We live in an age of unlimited social media so there certainly is more noise, but does that mean there is a rise in sympathies in reality? 

Let's take anti-Semitism. No denying critique of Israel has gone up, But the Israelite PM calling any critique anti-Semitism does not make it so. Having critique on Israels actions is not the same as hating Jewish people. But certainly people that for some reason did not like Jewish people before have a bigger outlet due to social media.

Funfact 'Semite' is not a people or religion, it's a language group. Not only Hebrew, but also Arabic and Farsi belong to it. In that sense using the word 'anti-Semite' in its 'western' meaning was always a bit weird.

About nazi ideology, I would say the same thing. More people are labeling others because some elections were won by the other 'team', so more noise. It would be the same as the other 'team' won and talking about how Communism is on the rise. They are first off all labels that do not make sense and just shouting them more often does not make it so. As far as I'm aware we have not seen the same thing happening as in 1920, were the German workers party renamed themselves into the National Socialist party.
