---------------- Tommy Hilfiger's Response We here at Tommy Hilfiger Wholesale have nothing to do with Tommy Hilfiger Corp. This is the official response to the Oprah incedent. # TO: TOMMY HILFIGER CONSUMERS AND FRIENDS # FROM: TOMMY HILFIGER CORPORATION # SUBJECT: MALICIOUS RUMORS We are disturbed to learn that an ugly rumor has been circulating about our company. Since we understand that you have been the recipient of false information we wanted to set the record straight. The facts are simple and incontrovertible. Tommy Hilfiger did not make the alleged inappropriate racial comments. He has never appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show, although the rumor specifically asserts that he made negative remarks in that forum and that Ms. Winfrey asked him to leave. The show's producer has confirmed the fact that Tommy has never been a guest. Similar rumors have circulated about comments supposedly made on other television shows. All of them are completely false. Tommy Hilfiger has never appeared on Larry King Live or on CNN's "Style with Elsa Klensch" despite persistent misinformation to the contrary. Whether these rumors are part of a misunderstanding or a deliberate act of malice, they have absolutely no basis in fact. Tommy Hilfiger wants his clothing to be enjoyed by people of all backgrounds and his collections are put together with the broadest cross section of individuals in mind. To reinforce this, he features models of all ethnic backgrounds in his fashion shows and advertisements. Tommy Hilfiger and the entire company are extremely pleased that the brand has been received so enthusiastically by individuals of all ethnic backgrounds around the world. We hope you, too, are a satisfied customer!! If you have additional questions or concerns, please contact Tommy Hilfiger Corporate Communications at 25 West 39th St., New York, NY 10018. --- In proletar@yahoogroups.com, Harry Adinegara <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Inilah namanya rampant racism, dimana mana ya tetap aja ada. > > > > Ngak tahunya kalau abad ini bakalan jadi eranya orang Asia, maksudku eranya bangsa Tionghoa. Bukan jadi rasis ini, tapi ada baiknya kalau orang lain, selain kulit putih bisa mengimbangi orang bule, bahkan dalam 2 dasa warsa lagi Tiongkok akan jadi negara super/mega power, selain kekuatan ekonomi juga kekuatan tehnis dan persenjataan akan mengungguli si Amrik. > > > > Harry Adinegara > > > > > 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, Jews and Asians would buy my clothes, 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. The suggestion? Don't buy your next shirt or perfume from Tommy Hilfiger. Let's give him what he asked for. Let's not buy his clothes, let's put him in a financial state where he himself will not be able to afford the ridiculous prices he puts on his clothes. BOYCOTT. PLEASE SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ANYONE YOU KNOW. If we are small, then send it to the whole community that's not white people and see the result. We have to see the result of unity. Let's find out if Asian > and Non-white really play such a small part in the world. Stop buying any range of their product, perfume, cosmetics, clothes, bags,> > >> etc., etc. > ________________________________________________________________________ > > Scene took place on a BA flight between Johannesburg and London. A White woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a black man. Obviously disturbed by this, she called the air Hostess. "Madam, what Is the matter," the hostess asked. "You obviously do not see it then?" She responded. "You placed me next to a black man. I do not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat. "Be calm please," the hostess replied. "Almost all the places on this flight are taken. will go to see if another place is available." The Hostess went away and then came back a few minutes later. "Madam, Just as I thought, there are no other available seats in the economy class. I spoke to the captain and he informed me that there is also a seat in the business class. All the same, we still have one place in the first class." Before the woman could say anything, the hostess continued: "It is not usual for our company to permit someone from the economy class to sit in > the first class. However, given the circumstances,the captain feels that it would be scandalous to make anyone sit next to someone so disgusting." She turned to the black guy, and said, "Therefore, Sir, if you would like to please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in first class. At that moment, the other passengers who were shocked by what they had just witnessed stood up and applauded. This is a true story. If you are against racism, please send this message to all your friends; please do not delete it without sending it to at least one person. > > --------------------------------- > YAHOO!
