Her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, she asked him if
% L9 h' p; z+ h$ d1 tthe statements about race he was accused of saying were true. 8 W: t5 N# V! q9 ?$ z5 S
Statements like'... 'If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewish ! B3 e; t8 u! k+ x+ v
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 ' $ V1 C4 G, N8 `* f' n

His answer to Oprah was a simple ' YES' . 8 C- x4 u6 Q0 D# O* i& o) W
