The article mentions a less charitable theory: Whoopi chose the name as a way of getting a leg up in Hollywood and Broadway, as many Jews are successful king-makers in the entertainment industry. For what it’s worth, her star turn came in Steven Spielberg’s *The Color Purple.* — PolitiTweet.org

According to Whoopi: “My mother did not name me Whoopi, but Goldberg is my name, it's part of my family, part of my heritage. Just like being black." https://t.co/xYHwjL4uhv — PolitiTweet.org

In fact, Whoopi doesn’t have any Jewish (or German) ancestry. She adopted the name in the 1970s and ‘80s, as the Holocaust was becoming salient and powerful as a symbol of suffering and persecution. Perhaps she understood her African-American heritage as a kind of “Judaism.” — PolitiTweet.org
