Oprah Winfrey suffers 'racism' in Switzerland



Billionaire talk show host and one of the richest women in the world Oprah Winfrey claims that she was ‘racially abused’ at a store in Switzerland. In an interview with a US TV station  Oprah stated that she asked to ‘see a bag but the attendant told her that its too expensive for her’. When she persisted, the attendant told her pointedly that its too costly for her’ and then she walked out.  The cost of the bag is $35,000 but Oprah’s show is not shown in Switzerland so she is not know there. The owner of the store has since apologized to Ms Winfrey

What do you think about this incident? Was it just a case of Oprah not looking like someone that can afford such high end back to the attendant or simply racism
