00:00These folks have always been here. All those, the racists, the misogynists, they've always been in

00:06here. Whoopi Goldberg has a new name for the White Lotus, the Caucasian Lotus. The View co-host

00:12called out the show while introducing a segment about a conversation from a recent episode of

00:17the show. The White Lotus or the Caucasian Lotus as I call it, is about ultra rich people going

00:24to exotic locations. The conversation from episode three that Goldberg was referencing

00:28saw the trio of complicated friends who reunited for a girl's trip in Thailand,

00:33played by Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon and Michelle Moynihan, learned that one of them voted for

00:38Donald Trump in the presidential election. This got the View panel discussing the very real

00:43challenges of navigating friendships with opposite political views in today's heated political climate.

00:49It's not just about politics. It's about morality, ethics. It's about cruelty.

00:53It's about discrimination. It's about a lot of things. So those are personal human values.

00:58While the Trump vote scene is timely, Bibb previously told Entertainment Weekly that it

01:03was actually filmed before Trump announced that he was running for re-election.

01:07I feel like Mike had binoculars into the future because when we did it, it just didn't feel timely

01:12anymore. I was like, we already did that. That was in the past. I don't even think Trump was running

01:17when we did it. It was in January or February of last year or something. So yeah, that was pretty wild.

01:22Meanwhile, while Goldberg didn't expand on the Caucasian Lotus remark,

01:26she could be referring to the fact that the majority of the vacationers in the White Lotus

01:30Season 3 are white, while those playing the employees are mainly people of color or Thai,

01:35as the latest installment takes place in Thailand. The decision to highlight inequality in Season 3

01:40isn't new for creator Mike White, as he also put a spotlight on the disconnect between the native

01:45Hawaiian staff and the privileged white vacationers in Season 1. For more details on this story,
