Cain took accountability for past racist comments and her rejection of ’‘‘cringe SJW’ behavior.” But she doesn’t apologize for everything.
Alt-pop singer Ethel Cain, real name Hayden Anhedönia, released a more than 2,000-word response to various controversies of various importance that have surfaced recently. On July 9, via a Google doc link in her Instagram Stories, Cain apologized directly for her newly publicized racist posts on the social-media platform Curious Cat, which she made when she was 19. In the resurfaced posts, which are currently popular discussion points on Reddit, she admits to saying the N-word and “build the wall!” “I spent my later high-school years being extremely progressive and ‘SJW’ as they called it at the time, as a way to reject the indoctrination of my environment and rebel against the prejudice, hatred, and ignorance of the culture I grew up in,” she wrote to explain the posts, having grown up Southern Baptist in Perry, Florida.
