Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors... even by children. 🙁Carano was making the point that persecution of a race begins by dehumanizing them in the eyes of their neighbors, just like cancel culture is eliminating conservatives from participation in society today. Whoopie Goldberg's comments were outright Holocaust denial.Because history is edited, most people today don't realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?
Yet Goldberg gets to return to work in two weeks.

Lucasfilm announced in 2021 that Carano would not appear in future Star Wars projects following a series of controversial posts she made to social media.
These included tweets in which she mocked the use of face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States and repeated claims of voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election.
In late 2020, Carano clashed with activists on Twitter, who criticized her lack of public support for the Black Lives Matter movement, leading some to accuse her of racism.
Weeks later, after facing calls from some fans to put her preferred gender pronouns in her Twitter profile, she added the words "beep/bop/boop". Critics interpreted this as ridicule, leading to accusations of transphobia. She later apologized and removed them, saying that Mandalorian actor Pedro Pascal had helped her understand the use of preferred pronouns.
In February 2021, Carano shared an Instagram post that compared "hating someone for their political views" to the persecution of Jews during the Holocaust and included an image taken during the Lviv pogroms. Many critics interpreted the post as comparing American conservatives to Jews in Nazi Germany.
Shortly afterward, Lucasfilm stated that Carano was no longer employed by the company, saying that "her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable".
The same day, she was dropped by United Talent Agency.
