Her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, she asked him if + K! x" |) X- O3 p2 @" t
the statements about race he was accused of saying were true. : W5 Q4 i3 g# D1 e
Statements like'... 'If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewish " [' {& F" D$ Z0 D6 T3 a9 l
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 ' . A; e1 s# T% H' A
