Whoopi Goldberg explaining that the Holocaust wasn't about race because these were "two groups of white people" isn't just insipid, it's insidious. It's downplaying the minority status of Jews in order to uphold bullshit intersectional arguments that justify anti-Semitism today.

You all remember when ABC fired Rosanne Barr because of a tweet. So, what is ABC going to do about Whoopi Goldberg and her rhetoric?

If someone told Whoopi Goldberg that the TransAtlantic Slave Trade, Jim Crow segregation, and the KKK weren't really about "race" but about "man's inhumanity to man" she'd have a conniption fit.

Dear Whoopi Goldberg,
If the Holocaust wasn't about race why did the "master race" murder six million European Jews?
