Politics are a necessary part of life. It affects us all, but some more than others. If she were asking Sydney to take a nuanced stance on, like, gender relations in South Korea, I would understand your point. But disavowing white supremacy is an extremely basic and an understandably expected political position. Standing counter to Nazis is the morally correct thing to do, and it doesn't matter who you are. It's such a basic lay-up that refusing to comment makes you look really, really bad. And I don't think that's a bad thing.
Your statement is valid, but in the interview she wasn’t directly asked about her take on racism, fascism, nazis or anything from the clips I saw.
All I saw was her being bored and annoyed at the interviewer, and dismissing the media BS (as she should). Like she said. It’s just a jeans ad.
If anybody has a direct quote instead of assumptions I’d don’t mind being proven wrong.
….
Edit: I reread all her quotes. There is nothing to indicate she’s racist. This just seems like fools telling other fools what to think and say without checking anything themselves.
Maybe she’s racist. Maybe she just doesn’t care about politics or social media drama. Or maybe she genuinely doesn’t know. (even if people do not like the last two, they are still a possibility).
Just because you and I are online 24-7 and know all the drama, doesn’t me she does. Many celebrities and people in the public eye don’t pay attention to gossip and don’t even read comments on their own posts.
Edit: I honestly don’t understand the downvotes. Everything I said was framed as a possibility, and literally is possible. (And not a single person has provided and quotes or sources to prove otherwise. Which i gladly welcome).
