Whoopi says that Jewish folks themselves are divided on whether or not they’re really a race or not, even quoting one Jewish buddy as saying … “Not for nothing is there no field on the census for the Jewish race. In order that leads me to imagine that we’re most likely not a race.”
The creator factors out what many have already stated on this difficulty — particularly, that the Nazis considered the Jews as a race, due to this fact (on this context) they need to be mentioned as such.

To that, Whoopi replied … “Sure, however that’s the killer, isn’t it? The oppressor is telling you what you’re. Why are you believing them? They’re Nazis. Why imagine what they’re saying?”
Whoopi goes on to double down on the notion that the Holocaust wasn’t about race, from her POV, by saying … “Bear in mind who they have been killing first. They weren’t killing racial; they have been killing bodily. They have been killing folks they thought-about to be mentally faulty. After which they made this determination.”

When the creator factors out to Whoopi that bodily assessments have been being executed to Jews to find out in the event that they have been, actually, Jewish in Nazi Germany — once more emphasizing that Nazis considered Jews as a race — Whoopi pushed again and stated … “They did that to Black folks too. However it doesn’t change the truth that you possibly can not inform a Jew on a road. You can discover me. You couldn’t discover them. That was the purpose I used to be making. However you’d have thought that I’d taken a giant outdated smelly dump on the desk, butt bare.”
She appears hung up on semantics — particularly, between race and ethnicity (that are totally different) — all ‘trigger “Jewish” does not present up on the census underneath race. Regardless, there isn’t any doubt Jewish identification is multi-faceted — and Jews are, for certain, an ethnic group … and have been considered by way of this lens all through just about all of historical past.
Why Whoopi continues to nitpick this difficulty is past us, however that is positively a 180 from her apology … which she delivered shortly earlier than she was suspended for 2 weeks.
Time will inform what comes of it within the new yr.
