    subject : Tommy Hilfiger on Oprah
    "I'm sure many of you watched the recent taping of The Oprah Winfrey Show where her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, Oprah asked him if he had said, 'If I had known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jews and Asians would buy my clothes, I would not have made them so nice. I wish these people would not buy my clothes, as they are made for upper-class white people.' His answer to Oprah was a simple 'Yes' when she asked him, and she then immediately asked him to leave her show."

    Is he racist ?

    Even if he was thinking that, chances are he wouldn't blurt it out. Unless drunk :)

    My wardrobe is heavy on Ralph Laurens too. What a great business that guys has: put his name on a shirt. People buy the shirt and advertise the name!

    Some people are so eager to believe anything. Worse yet, they pass it off as truth to others without any care for the real truth. It is easy to see why some people fall prey to conspiracy theories and the like.
