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?
