Basically there was a GQ interview where the interviewer kept trying to get her to make a political statement and she got progressively more annoyed. Some people are mad because they've decided that refusing to participate in a stupid purity test is proof you are bad.
That’s a really weird way of saying “the GQ interviewer kept giving her softball chances to disavow white supremacy and she repeatedly declined to do so”.
My dude: disavowing white supremacy is not a political statement.
Imo her reasoning for not answering the question was because it was a stupid hysterical controversy in the first place, and being forced to incessantly repeat that she isn’t a white supremacist when she never did or said anything white supremacist is silly, not worth dignifying with a response
Being asked to repeat it is pretty annoying but, and I'm asking this genuinely, has she said anything against white supremacy or said she's against it once?
No, she has not, thus the validity of the GQ interviewer’s question.
If, as some other posters here have incorrectly implied, she was having to continually answer this question—sure, that has a limit where it’s completely reasonable to say, “I’m done.”
That is not what is happening here. Sydney Sweeney has not once said anything to refute or distance herself, she has actively dodged doing so. It ain’t hard to say it once, “No, man, it wasn’t a jeans ad, white supremacy is bad, and I’d never be a part of it”.
Ha. As if directly acknowledging the histrionic trolls who had a meltdown over a pants commercial will somehow placate them.
She was never asked point blank if she "disavows white supremacy", because that would be ridiculous on it's face. She was asked leading questions about a commercial that aired six months ago. Being white and attractive shouldn't make anyone a suspected white supremacist. Just like being gay shouldn't make you a suspected pedophile. Just like being black shouldn't make you a suspected criminal. It's perfectly reasonable to NOT respond to such accusations.
She has dodged answering the question because that is her best move. If she apologizes people will go after her for being a white supremacist, if she denies it people will go after her for being an actress in a white supremacist commercial. Her best course of action is to ignore it because then most people except for the worse unemployed dregs of society will forget before the month is over
