    Saw that Whoopi Goldberg got suspended from the View for two weeks for saying that the Holocaust wasn't a "race issue"

    She was informed that the Nazis viewed Jewish people as a different race, hence making their actions racially fueled. But isn't it agreed upon that they were wrong for having those views, like on top them generally committing those crimes against humanity?

    As a black person, I need help understanding what was offensive about her pointing that out.

    There are two entities you don't mess with in the entertainment industry. Even if you're accurate in what you're saying.

    Its an ethnicity. You can practice Judaism without being ethnically Jewish

    Pretty sure a lot of them are genetically insular as a people for the most part but also you’re only considered Jewish if your mother is Jewish.

    Jews from Ethiopia, Europe, Yemen etc are culturally different and don’t belong to the same ethnic group. Only thing that ties them together is religious identity

    Its both, you can be ethnically Jewish and you can follow Judaism. You can do both, one of them, or the other and still be Jewish.

    Can't believe some of you really have the audacity to act like there aren't ethnic Jews.

    About 1 out of 4 people of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage is a carrier of one of these genetic conditions, most commonly of Gaucher disease, cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs disease, familial dysautonomia, or Canavan disease

    At least a splinter group

    So then where does the stereotypical jew meme (you know the one) originate from if there is/was no ethnic group also associated with the religion

    Jew here! What Whoopi said isn’t as bad as people are making out to be, but it’s still misinformed. Jews were and had been viewed as a race until the Holocaust mostly as a result of their displacement throughout history up until that point. To say the Holocaust was about “man’s evil” instead of the complete extermination of Jews (and other races/ethnicities) is just factually incorrect and complete erasure to the atrocities committed unto our people.
