Even Oprah Gets the Racist Treatment

A high-end store in Switzerland had to apologize, the queen of media, Oprah Winfrey for refusing to let her look at a bag because the shop assistant presumed 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. ‘I go into a store and I say to the woman, ‘Excuse me, could I see the bag right above your head?’ and racism is still an issue,’ Oprah added.‘There’s two different ways to handle it. I could’ve had the whole blow-up thing… but racism still exists, of course it does.’The culprit or at least the store in question is Trois Pommes store whose owner, Trudie Götz, was also a guest at the Tina Turner’s wedding. Talk about a small world! Well, that extremely wealthy world is small. The store owner and president went on to offer apologies to Oprah via the local newspaper.
