Whoopi Goldberg, which is NOT even her real name, hates Jews, her real name is Caren Johnson wonder why she changed it
The real Goldberg should body slam that pig for cultural appropriation.
You forgot to mention that it was intentional culture appropriation on the part of Caren Johnson.
Maybe she doesn’t want to be identified as a true Caren????

Interesting facts from Wikipedia:
She has stated that her stage forename (”Whoopi”) was taken from a whoopee cushion: “When you’re performing on stage, you never really have time to go into the bathroom and close the door. So if you get a little gassy, you’ve got to let it go. So people used to say to me, ‘You’re like a whoopee cushion.’ And that’s where the name came from.”
“About her stage surname, she claimed in 2011, “My mother did not name me Whoopi, but Goldberg is my name—it’s part of my family, part of my heritage, just like being black,” and “I just know I am Jewish. I practice nothing. I don’t go to temple, but I do remember the holidays.” She has stated that “people would say ‘Come on, are you Jewish?’ And I always say ‘Would you ask me that if I was white? I bet not.’”
One account suggests that her mother, Emma Johnson, thought the family’s original surname was “not Jewish enough” for her daughter to become a star.
Researcher Henry Louis Gates Jr. found that all of Goldberg’s traceable ancestors were black, that she had no known German or Jewish ancestry, and that none of her ancestors were named Goldberg. Results of a DNA test, revealed in the 2006 PBS documentary African American Lives, traced part of her ancestry to the Papel and Bayote people of modern-day Guinea-Bissau of West Africa. The show identified her great-great-grandparents as William and Elsie Washington, who had acquired property in northern Florida in 1873, and mentions they were among a very small number of black people who became landowners through homesteading in the years following the Civil War. The show also mentions that her grandparents were living in Harlem, and that her grandfather was working as a Pullman porter.
