{UAH} WHY DOES THIS WOMAN EXPECT THE WORLD WORLD TO TREAT HER LIKE A QUEEN?

Oprah Winfrey Victim of 'Racism' in Switzerland

Posted on August 9, 2013

US  talkshow host Oprah Winfrey has said she was the victim of racism during a shopping trip in Switzerland .

Winfrey, one of the world's richest women, told a US TV programme that she was refused service in a handbag shop in Zurich and told that the products in the shop were "too expensive" for her.

"I was in Zurich the other day, in a store whose name I will not mention. I didn't have my eyelashes on, but I was in full Oprah Winfrey gear. I had my little Donna Karan skirt and my little sandals. But obviously 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' is not shown in Zurich," she told Entertainment Tonight.

"I go into a store and I say to the woman, 'Excuse me, could I see the bag right above your head?' and she says to me, 'No. It's too expensive.'"

The saleswoman went on to suggest she look at cheaper bags.

Winfrey said she left the shop calmly after the incident, but said that it proves that racism is still an issue
