1. I don't think Whoopi is antisemitic at all. I just don't think she understands us. But, I also can

honestly say I don't necessarily understand her.

I'm not sure if that makes sense. It's just how I feel. I'm Jewish.

2. I don't think she understands the controversy, but I agree she's not antisemitic

Maybe because she's black and grew up being aware of those prejudices, she never thought much about other types, and their have been many throughout history, but antisemitism is one of the oldest.

4. Yes. She thinks the words "race" and "color" are interchangeable. One may argue...

...about whether or not Jews constitutes a race (an artificial construct to begin with), but the point here is that the Germans thought so, since the Master Race ("Herrenrasse" ) did not include Jews. While closely tied to each other in American history, the words "race" and "color" are not interchangeable, especially when talking about the Holocaust.

3. Very interesting article on «race» as a construct by racists:

I wonder if this figured into what Whoopi said…
