I believe Oprah. Europeans often act as such snobs.

Yes ak Tina

No! Because she probably knows about race relations in that area. And might be able to vouch for the character of the shop girl and whether it might be a misunderstanding or not. O has been known to be super snotty and difficult.

It is not a lie. The owner came on television and apologized for the incident.


Not exactly--I saw that show..looked like Oprah was trying to get them to say something and they weren't in agreement but wanted to make sure she was happy. I am actually believing the shop girl. Europe is not a racist area of the world..it is years ahead of us..that is why African American entertainers used to be ex pats there. I have a feeling the shop person was truthful and Oprah is looking for ratings.


Europe absolutely has a serious racism problem. When my European friends who are of African descent come to visit, they comment positively about U.S. attitudes vis-à-vis European attitudes.

It is not racist it is classist, folks. She did not look like she had the money. I recently went into Jimmy Choo's in Chevy Chase and the staff ignored. I own several pairs of Choo shoes. This is just a case a low SES thinking a high SES person looks a certain way.

I always think it is because I am overweight.


Yep, this happens to me, too. I dress casually and I'm pudgy, but I have money. I am invisible pretty much everywhere I would like to shop. Recently I've just purchased online.

It's called "profiling."

Maybe you've heard of it?


Stop assigning American sensibilities to other people

Time to put Oprah on candid camera when she is shopping.The bitch has half the world's housewives kissing her butt yet she can't get a shop girl to show her a bag? What a wuzz suddenly....
The girl was Italian? Maybe Oprah's Italian sucked and something got lost in translation.

Publicity stunt Oprah. She dressed up in her oldest clothes and visited the shop. They probably did not love the attitude.
