Whoopi Isn’t Alone in Misunderstanding Antisemitism

On Monday on "The View," during a conversation about book banning and the Holocaust graphic novel "Maus," Whoopi Goldberg declared that "the Holocaust wasn't about race," because it was "two groups of White people." Her co-hosts pushed back: Joy Behar noted that the Nazis were obsessed with race, and Sara Haines reminded Goldberg that Jews were not considered White in Nazi Germany. But that was nothing compared with the outrage online, from random Twitter users all the way up to Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League.
