Even though it's actually a sad story I had to laugh a lot at this, hilarious!

What's sad and hilarious in this story is subject for debate. The store owner claims it was a big misunderstanding because the Italian store employee didn't speak English that well. In such kind of stores a lot of people get treated like they can't afford the stuff, regardless of their color. Sure, such behaviour is stupid, but I really don't see the racism connection. Some would say, it's sad that Oprah mixes up the facts. Other would think it's hilarious that somebody with PETA affilations wants to buy a croco handbag...
