@velartrill
i missed the action, just read about it on bbc (no pun intended) (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-60209527)
> Maus, which depicts Jews as mice and Nazis as cats, has won a number of literary awards.
>
> The school board said it banned the book because its profanity, nudity and depiction of suicide was inappropriate for 13-year-olds.
>
> Goldberg, a 66-year-old Oscar-winning actress who has been on The View since 2007, told her co-hosts: "I'm surprised that's what made you uncomfortable, the fact that there was some nudity.
>
> "I mean, it's about the Holocaust, the killing of six million people, but that didn't bother you?
>
> "If you're going to do this, then let's be truthful about it. Because the Holocaust isn't about race. No, it's not about race."
>
> Co-host Joy Behar pointed out that the Nazis said the Jews were a different race.
>
> Goldberg said: "But it's not about race. It's not. It's about man's inhumanity to other man."
>
> "But it's about white supremacy," responded co-host Ana Navarro. "It's about going after Jews and Gypsies and Roma."
>
> "But these are two white groups of people," countered Goldberg.
>
> Co-host Sara Haines pointed out that the Nazis "didn't see them as white".
>
> Goldberg continued: "But you're missing the point! The minute you turn it into race, it goes down this alley. Let's talk about it for what it is. It's how people treat each other. It's a problem."
imagine getting canceled for saying people doing evil stuff is bad.
@velartrill it's one of my favourite things in these trying times that the people deeming themselves anti-racist are the ones endlessly perpetuating race.
like you've written, it bears a certain twisted humour that whoopie get's cancelled :)
@niclas @velartrill well, anything else would probably be a breach of contract. it's "deplatforming" in any case imo.
@bonifartius @velartrill Paid suspension == Holiday, not cancelled.
