Recently, Whoopi Goldberg doubled down on her harmful, revisionist claims that the Holocaust was "not about race" and was a matter of "white-on-white violence."
Whoopi, here are some things you should know:

In Mein Kampf — and many other letters and documents — Hitler made it perfectly clear that he viewed the Jews as an inferior race that a) was trying to disguise itself as a religion and b) was trying to "annihilate the non-Jewish races."

Yet again, #WhoopiGoldberg’s comments about the Holocaust and race are deeply offensive and incredibly ignorant. When she made similar comments earlier this year, we explained how the Nazi regime was inherently racist. 🧵Read on...
The Nazis set out to exterminate the Jewish people, whom they viewed as inferior to the mythical “Aryan master race.” They used pseudo-scientific theories of race to justify their anti-Jewish "race laws" and systemic slaughter of millions.
It's no coincidence that white supremacists in the US today echo the Nazis’ “master race” claim as they spread their antisemitic and racist hate.

#WhoopiGoldberg ok. So this tweet is about dialogue...
The comment Whoopi made was myopic and uninformed at best, but its based on American not Hitler's Germany issues. To many Jews are a faith community, or assimilation into "whiteness," in America has made them "white" but...
Anti-Semitism really is about Jews as a distinct, racial group that bear in their genes dysfunction..it was coined by a racial anti-Semite. I use Anti-Jewish also to describe issues with the religious part of Jewish peoplehood, Judaism.
Jews were seen by the Nazis as a "mongrel" race because they ranged in phenotype and reflected origins as a mixed people. There were seen as imposters if similar in phenotype or invaders if not. You couldn't win.
