AeroMexico's new 'DNA Discount' ad is quite the troll

submitted by eric3579

5 years 10 months 1 week ago

AeroMexico, the country's national carrier, unveiled a program called "DNA Discounts," which offers discounts on flights to Americans who can show by taking a test that they have Mexican DNA.

The amount of the discount depends on the percentage of Mexican ancestry.

The promotion is specifically targeted at states in the Western United States, including Arizona and Utah.

On a side note, and having nothing to do with what this video is actually about, can you actually trust DNA results to identify what you are? https://videosift.com/video/Twins-take-5-DNA-Ancestry-tests-and-get-mystifying-results-1

Well... lets just say their advertising makes some claims that aren't well supported by science. There is also a statistical problem that most of their customers have somewhat similar backgrounds, and someone who doesn't share that background is likely to get some strange results.
