Well it looks like this incident with Whoopi has caused the ADL to change their definition again…
Racism (interim definition): Racism occurs when individuals or institutions show more favorable evaluation or treatment of an individual or group based on race or ethnicity. (Prof. Robert Livingston, The Conversation).
Whoopi is right only in the Anglo Saxon and anglo American context. However she is wrong in the German and international racial context. In Germany like in many other places. Judaism is a religion as well as a race for some. While in America, and rest of the white Anglosphere (UK, Canada, Australia) Jews are white.
"for some". I honestly don't think she should have to apologize as in our context she is correct enough.
Jews share plenty with Palestinians and a lot of Middle Eastern countries. Are Jews enough of a separate race from others in the Middle East to classify them as their own race? I don't buy into just because Hitler said it doesn't make it fact. I am tired of what he says to have so much power. He was nuts. Also why can't people have a mustache like he had? Charlie Chaplin had one, yet Hitler has so much power and influence we now can never have a toothbrush mustache? Seems ridiculous to perpetuate all of this type of thing. Will we ever progress?
Don’t believe her words warranted suspension. However, other ABC/Disney stars have said far less worse on their private social media and were fired. If ABC/Disney wants to be consistent then Whoopi’s should have been fired.
Remember when Disney fired Gena Carano from The Mandalorian? Of course not. The woke left suffers from selective amnesia.
She made a social media post that recalled the Nazi rounding up Jews and said something to the effect that this is Dems rounding up Republicans for daring to have differing views.
Cancelled/Fired.
Will Whoopi be fired? Nope. She has the right skin color and is the mouthpiece for her woke supporters.

Well, not to go off subject and to just quickly point out something interesting. Think President Biden and his recent Supreme Court announcement.
I was one of the ones calling it that the other day.
