No, because in a wider perspecitve this is part of an American attempt to make American understanding of racism and race universal.

Americans are trying to apply their ideas of race onto racial conflicts that have happened in Europe and is still going on.

As a European I think I have a right to speak up against this American attempt to impose an American viewpoint on the rest of the world.

When discussing a racial conflict that happened in Europe, one should use the concepts of race that existed at that time in Europe, and not try to define it in terms of contemporary American concepts of race.

I don't have a beef with Whoopi Goldberg. I don't think she is racist. But what she is saying isn't some novelty. It is part of an ongoing American effort to define racism as only being what "white" people do to "non-white" people.

I think it is absolutely in order to push against this narrow minded view of racism.
