While Winfrey may be one of the most recognizable faces on the planet, she apparently doesn't have as big a fan base in Switzerland. Winfrey tells O'Dell that while in Zurich for Tina Turner's wedding she left the hotel to go shopping by herself and was denied service when the clerk assumed that Winfrey wouldn't be able to afford the bag she was asking to see.
When asked if she has ever been called the N-word, Winfrey explained that, for her, sexism seems to be the bigger issue.

Oy. Why didn’t she just buy the joint instead of whining about it?
I didn’t notice any racism in Switzerland,
Don’t you know who I am?
Maybe she couldn’t afford it. Is her network still hemorrhaging money?
It never stops.
I heard Oprah tell the same story several years ago, except it was in Paris.
Oprah: Still relevant
The Swiss never had slaves, so they don’t suffer from White guilt. So, Oprah, you can go KMA.
Oprah must have never heard that old saying, “If you always tell the truth, you don’t have to remember what you said.”
If she wants to experience real racism, let her pay that inflated health insurance bill the rest of us are getting - courtesy of our wonderful Marxist president.
Everyone in America who carries health insurance is getting f*cked by that “African-American” from Indonesia.
Boo Hoo. The end.
How do we know it was the color of her skin and not the projection of ignorance emanating from her fat ugly face?
People who are promoted and successful simply because of their skin color can never be sure. I don’t hear Oprah complaining about that!
Too big to fail...
She runs for President, she loses, media says “America is not ready for a black female President.” We are all branded. Again.
Assuming someone is too poor is not racism, it might be classism or economic profiling but its not racism.
So, shouldn’t the Press be asking for details?
Store name?
Time and date?
Description of clerk?
The clerk’s side of the story?
The surveillance video?
You’re lying, Oprah.
You lie because you know the Press will never investigate.
I can’t even put into words the contempt if feel towards these “f’n” perpetual “victims”. Screw you Oprah. You want racism ... you have how much money and you still complain?
Nothing will ever change your mind, You see racism under every rock. Well guess what you’re one generating it now. I for one have had my fill of people like you who have had far more chances than me as a white male AMERICAN and yet you still call racism whenever it suits you. Well guess what ... I am NOW a racist. I think people like you are the real racists and I am absolutely tired of your whining. So now I’m at the point where I want you gone ... you and your race baiting buddys like Jackson and Sharpton. Go back to your frigging home land and stay there. I for one don’t want you here screwing up MY country anymore
That's just plain ignorance and proves once again that rich people ain't always the smartest people around!!!
