Oprah victim of racism

[Doozer]

US talk show host Oprah Winfrey has said she was the victim of racism during a recent shopping trip in Switzerland.

The media mogul, who is one of the world’s richest women, told a US television show that a shop assistant in Zurich refused to show her a handbag because it was “too expensive” for her.

“I was in Zurich the other day, in a store whose name I will not mention. I didn’t have my eyelashes on, but I was in full Oprah Winfrey gear. I had my little Donna Karan skirt and my little sandals. But obviously The Oprah Winfrey Show is not shown in Zurich,” she told the Entertainment Tonight programme.

The woman is a multibillionairre lol
Id say the Swiss guy was fired. You have to wonder how he didnt realise who it was

Jesus christ what an ignorant moron. Do I think it was racist? Yes, regardless if you know it was Oprah or not. Simply judged her on the colour of her skin. Nothing else.

Your dead right, but still, Oprah. She could probably buy Switzerland let alone the shop
Hard to believe that things like this still go on

Christ she probably has enough $$$$'s to bail out Ireland and buy a sizable chunk of continental Europe let alone just Switzerland!

21st century humans, yet 19th century thinking still occurs.

The bag was $38,000, unless there was $37,000 in cash inside it I would consider it a bit on the expensive side no matter what colour my skin is.
