The first incident was years ago at Hermes in Paris. Perhaps if the discrimination would go away then we wouldn't need to keep having this discussion.

Whenever humans have to deal with strangers, they automatically turn on their profiling mode. And that knows no political correctness...

Another wandering thread based on few verifiable facts and a lot of BS, inference and assumptions. A waste of time which will result in no conclusions... .

Because you keep pointing out that Oprah's a billionaire (in all caps) as if that's supposed to prove anything. If the world were as racist as Oprah wants to make it out to be, how the hell would a black woman like her have become a billionaire? Racism didn't interfere in her finances.

No, not poor, but maybe not like the kind of person that I would expect to be interested in or capable of paying for that kind of stuff.

Yes, in 2005. She was mad because they would not let her in after they were closed. That is not
racism, it is an elitist who is not used to being treated like a regular person.

She threw the same tantrum back then.

Most of the people I know become WEALTHIER as they get OLDER, and not the reverse. Gosh, I wonder what the other factor would be...

What a ridiculous comment. So am I to automatically assume that you are a racist, child molester because you happen to be a White man? These profiling assumptions are pointless. And not only did that sales clerk get it wrong but she mistakenly profiled a BILLIONAIRE with a worldwide media platform as "poor"

True. I see a lot of older overweight, homely looking people driving nice cars and living in beautiful homes. They don't all look glamorous so I don't know where Nueling is coming from.
