Because they're sorted on the basis of personality - even the OOP
sorting song speaks of _having_ pure blood (presumably, meaning that
muggleborns at least are excluded regardless of personality or
ideology), not of having the ideology of pureblood supremacy. Having
every single Slytherin display this ideology is saying that this
personality type is inherently tied to this ideology, which, since the
ideology is evil, IS a condemnation of their personality type.
