Whoopi Goldberg had a truly wild tip for people attending the Super Bowl in Santa Clara, California, in February ― and it involves cocoa butter.
Many MAGA types don’t like the choice, in part because Bad Bunny sings in Spanish and also because he recently declared he won’t be touring the U.S. anytime soon out of fear that his fans will be targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Since then, Department of Homeland Security adviser Corey Lewandowski has threatened that ICE agents will be at the game, and Goldberg wondered how DHS Secretary Kristi Noem would even know who is in the country illegally or not.
“Because the Supreme Court has given permission to question anyone who has a Spanish accent, who has a dark skin,” fellow panelist Joy Behar explained.
Goldberg then proposed an idea that was probably a joke and definitely 100% trolling.
“Everybody, get a little cocoa butter, sit in the sun, that’s the first thing. And then — and this is the only time you can probably ever do this — give yourself a Latin accent, and just see if she can tell who’s who,” she said.
As dubious as Goldberg’s idea might have sounded, Behar suggested there was some historical precedent for it.
“During the Nazi occupation there was one country, I believe it was Denmark or Norway, one of those — where everybody put the Jewish star on and they didn’t know who was Jewish or who was not,” Behar said. “So what you are saying is very smart.”
That story is a myth, reportedly based on a remark by Danish King Christian X, because such stars were not introduced in Denmark during the Nazi occupation.
