But she'll complain that America is racist. Imagine this happening to her in this country ... there would be a civil war.

Oprah.
The French.
This is a target-rich environment.
To: Sub-Driver
So, the store has been having problems with "north Africans"? Well, everybody knows Oprah had her DNA tested and she is a ZULU -- a SOUTH African....they should have let her in. /sarcasm
To: Peach
It has happened to her in this country. She never mentioned the name of the boutique but it was in Chicago.

No kidding? It's wrong, of course, but my point was that racism in all forms exists everywhere. But somehow we only hear about how bad it is in America and I'm sick of it.

Apparently another leftist didn't get the memo. We are boycotting France!

I agree. It's not as if this happens every day to Oprah but it's the French and French bashing in and sometimes well deserved.

I thought she was a Zulu.
To: Sub-Driver
They wouldn 't let me in either, I presume, because I am a short, fat, protestant, English-speaking white guy...the difference between Oprah and I that makes the most difference, however, is that I don't care if the French don't let me in their bauble stores.
To: Sub-Driver
"Oprah Reportedly Gets The Boot In Paris" I know they're French, but still, I hope they didn't hurt their feet.

Oh, yeah? If I ever have a store, I won't let any french people in! I won't let Oprah in, either.

"I'm not welcomed -- it feels like -- in the stores," said Meesha Pike. "I have to have my husband with me just ... if I'm going to shop for a Chanel bag or something. The women don't talk to me until I am ready to make the purchase."What am I missing here? Did this TV station manage to find another person walking the streets of Chicago who had been denied entry to Hermes, or is she talking about something else?

I've experienced similar treatment right here in the U.S. (and I'm white, not black). I went furniture shopping in Greenwich CT, and couldn't get any of the sales people to so much as look at me. The same happened in a Jaguar dealership, about a year after the first incident.
I didn't whine. I didn't complain. I just took my CASH elsewhere.

They probably didn't want the expense of widening the front door.
