So, the ADL changed it's definition of "racism" from the real definition to one more in line with BLM that said that racism can only apply to systemic white supremacy.
Whoopi Goldberg's asinine comments about the Holocaust apparently struck a chord with them because the ADL realized that, by their own definition, Goldberg was right that the Holocaust wasn't racist. They also presumably realized that the Chinese persecution of the Uyghurs couldn't be called "racist" under the new definition.
So, they changed it again to something slightly less idiotic.
One thing that people are missing about the Whoopi Goldberg debacle is that there's one group that she definitely offended with her comments -- actual Nazis.
These douche bags are and were so obsessed with race that they needed to find the differences between them and Ashkenazi Jews in order to distinguish the races. I'm certain that, if by some miracle, there's a neo-Nazi somewhere in the world who watches The View and cares what Whoopi Goldberg says, he would be hilariously irate at her stupid comments.
John Start Mill once said, "If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind..."
I don't know why this point needs to keep being reiterated; but, free speech isn't about protecting popular speech or speech that is generally considered to be right. Free speech is about defending offensive language, speech that we generally think is wrong, speech that we deem potentially harmful.
We don't need a codified protection of free speech to protect officially approved speech or the speech that the majority of us either approve of or are nonchalant about. Such an intent for a legal and moral code would be useless and redundant. It's also useless and redundant for private citizens to only defend the speech that we like.
If you're not willing to defend speech that you hate or that hurts you, you're not a liberal.
