Maybe I'm being charitable, but that's the hint I'm getting from her words.

Her "clarification" made it pretty clear that what she meant was that it wasn't about race because Jews in Axis territory had pale skin just like the Nazis.

It's such a superficial understanding of racism that completely misses the motivations of racists.

On a higher level you can say it's about in groups vs out groups but when you choose to divide those groups based on ethnicity regardless of the appearance of those ethnicities that's racism.

Does anyone have a link to a full transcript of the Colbert interview, and to her tweet(s)? So far I've only read excerpts, and I'm not sure that's enough.

I disagree with what she said but I don't really see what suspending her accomplishes. It's not a situation in which someone needs to be punished

How does what Whoopi said compare to what got Gina Carano fired from The Mandalorian?

Whoopi merely said something stupid.

Gina said the Democrats want to Holocaust the Republicans.

So you're saying that both Gina and Whoopi should be fired and publicly shamed?

Whoopi couldnt keep the story straight regarding what her opinion should be.

Gina pointed out that we should be skeptical when authoritarians try to turn the population against itself.

Whoopi only got a 2 week suspension.

They both shouldnt be fired honestly, but the standard has been set with Gina Carano, there shouldnt be a double standard here.

Imagine how confused and conflicted neo-Nazis must be feeling when they read about this controversy. Either they side with a black woman who has stated that Jews are racially no different to other whites, or they side with the Anti-Defamation League. Can't be easy for them.

This is such an unbelievable naive take that I assume you're joking...
