I'm sure many of you watched the recent taping of the Oprah Winfrey
Show where her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, she asked him if
the statements about race he was accused of saying were true.
Statements like"..."If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewish
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".
Where after she immediately asked him to leave her show.
What gives???????????

It's no worse than any of these other celebrities making crappy remarks about whites, gays, blacks...so on and so forth.
It makes me sick though that a celebrity can say something so ignorant and pointless and then stand there and say "I'm sorry! I need therapy!" and expecting people to forgive them. It's atrocious!!

Wow, I had no idea he even said that. When did that happen? That's just crazy. I can't believe that was said considering the risk he's taking by a comment like that. Are you sure you didn't misunderstand?

This is false, this "urban legend" came out years ago. If this were true why was Aaliyah featured in Tommy Hilfiger commercials back when she was alive....(obviously not while she was dead...)?
Just a dumb rumor that you were dumb enough to post.
You are so late, I got the same email back when I was in high school, (which is close to ten years ago)
So lame.

Its not true...he has featured all those minorities in his ads at somepoint.
Ps. Jewish isnt really a race, its a religion, there are upper white class people who are jewish.
