I don't listen to people without eyebrows.

Tell that to the Neo-Nazis who are clear that Jews aren't white.

Some people don't believe Judaism is a race.

I don’t understand her point at all

So its more complicated -- Ashkenazi and Sephardic are Jewish ethnicities. Technically all Races could be Jewish, but just as someone can be Hispanic and White or Hispanic and Black, so too can you be the Jewish ethnicities.

But to many, Jews aren't White....

It’s was an ethnic cleansing

Race is defined as “a category of humankind that shares certain distinctive physical traits.” The term ethnicities is more broadly defined as “large groups of people classed according to common racial, national, tribal, religious, linguistic, or cultural origin or background.

She said it was white against white so it wasn’t about race. The Jewish faith is considered by some a race, a religion and a culture.

the holocaust also affected gay people, intelligentsia, gypsies, mentally or physically disabled.... so it was broader than just a racial holocaust

One could say slavery was “man’s inhumanity to man”. If the slaves sold from Africa would have been white, wouldn’t others have bought them for cheap labor? Probably.

Who cars what Whoopi Goldberg says?
She's not exactly a respected authority on racial issues, particularly since she refuses to identify as African American.

Huh? Judaism is not a race, it’s a religion. They (we) were targeted for being a minority religion.
Race is a social contract and so what race means in a particular time and country will be different. The Nazis thought they were the Aryan race, which was defined to exclude Jews.

She said it was white people vs. white people + thus not about race but man's overall inhumanity to man. Try not to make a mountain out of every molehill OP.
