I won't take any attacks on Greta Thunberg's looks. I think she is a very brave girl. I admire her. She is only 16. She has Asperger's which she is very open with.
People making fun of her looks is in the lowest moral category in my book. We recently had a high ranking CEO here in Sweden making fun of her.
He lost his job the other day. Rightfully so.
Bullying a teenage girl for her looks shows a terrible lack of judgment for a supposedly-responsible adult with billions of dollars at stake. Removing him/her from that position to eliminate negative publicity makes good financial sense for that company.

Yes, and on that note, when thinking of US commercials from the 70s with a public service announcement, we can't forget "the Crying Indian":

Ah yes! The actor, "Iron Eyes Cody", was actually born Espera Oscar de Corti and 100% Italian, which wasn't revealed until after he died in 1999.
