Sorta.
The hegetsus ad campaign made it very clear who was "Christian" and who was "other". If you were having your feet washed you were: immigrant/LGBT/alternative/brown. If you were washing feet you were a WASP.
Part of that is their target audience is WASPs. Inasmuch as they're able to deradicalize WASPs that's a good thing... But they're further entrenching a narrative of white Christian saviors here to serve the poor dumb "other", which is toxic.
It seems like it is meant to show though the people around her do not follow her faith, that she still treats them with kindness. I don’t care if Christian’s think of me as an “other”. I only care that they keep that to themselves and show kindness. We’re all hypocrites in some way or another anyway.
