Her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, she asked him if 7 {8 J- d+ I. ^; j/ w- W
the statements about race he was accused of saying were true. ! z/ @3 c2 i0 y8 s3 Y; Q
Statements like'... 'If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewish ' ~2 q/ p6 R6 Y: P7 O
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' . 3 a. W: A, e3 ^+ _5 N) I6 d9 L
