Her post on Instagram read: "Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children…Because history is edited, most people today don't realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews.

Rodin Eckenroth/WireImageĮarly last year, Disney announced in a statement that Carano had been fired as Cara Dune from the Disney+ show The Mandalorian. Above, Carano attends the premiere of "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker on Decemin Hollywood, California. People on social media are defending Carano's firing from a "Star Wars" series after the company came out in defense of Moses Ingram after she received racist attacks. On Tuesday, social media accounts for Star Wars on Twitter and Instagram posted messages defending Ingram, including "there are more than 20 million sentient species in the Star Wars galaxy, don't choose to be a racist." Ewan McGregor, star and executive producer of the new series, posted a video in which he stated he heard about some of the "most horrendous, racist" direct messages she received and it "just broke my heart." Ingram, who plays Reva Sevander in the new Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi, after the debut of the program, said she received a number of racist direct messages, which she posted on Instagram. One user posted, "Oh, I don't know, could it be because Gina Carano was held accountable for things she said while Moses Ingram is being attacked for existing in the Star Wars Universe while black?" However, those defending the firing of Carano said the two situations are completely different. Some, including conservative commentator and author Ben Shapiro, stated that "people are wondering why the cowards in the Star Wars universe were silent while Disney fired Gina Carano." Social media is standing behind Disney's move to fire actress Gina Carano from a popular Star Wars series after the company recently put out a statement defending another actress, Moses Ingram.
