These folks have always been here. All those, the racists, the misogynists, they've always been in
00:06
here. Whoopi Goldberg has a new name for the White Lotus, the Caucasian Lotus. The View co-host called
00:12
out the show while introducing a segment about a conversation from a recent episode of the show.
00:17
The White Lotus, or the Caucasian Lotus as I call it, is about ultra rich people going to exotic
00:24
locations. The conversation from episode three that Goldberg was referencing saw the trio of
00:30
complicated friends who reunited for a girls trip in Thailand, played by Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon,
00:35
and Michelle Moynihan, learn that one of them voted for Donald Trump in the presidential election.
00:40
This got the View panel discussing the very real challenges of navigating friendships with
00:45
opposite political views in today's heated political climate. It's not just about politics,
00:50
it's about morality, ethics, it's about cruelty, it's about discrimination, it's about a lot of
00:56
things. So those are personal human values. While the Trump vote scene is timely, Bibb previously
01:01
told Entertainment Weekly that it was actually filmed before Trump announced that he was running
01:06
for re-election. I feel like Mike had binoculars into the future because when we did it, it just
01:11
didn't feel timely anymore. I was like, we already did that. That was in the past. I don't even think
01:16
Trump was running when we did it. It was in January or February of last year or something.
01:20
So yeah, that was pretty wild.
01:22
Meanwhile, while Goldberg didn't expand on the Caucasian Lotus remark,
01:26
she could be referring to the fact that the majority of the vacationers in the White Lotus
01:30
Season 3 are white, while those playing the employees are mainly people of color or Thai,
01:35
as the latest installment takes place in Thailand.
01:38
The decision to highlight inequality in Season 3 isn't new for creator Mike White,
01:42
as he also put a spotlight on the disconnect between the Native Hawaiian staff
01:46
and the privileged white vacationers in Season 1.
