I think it was supposed to be more light-hearted than what many seem to be making it into. Anyway, it does still make you think about societal standards. Especially because it's a "skin whitening" product AND she talks gibberish!
That was disrespectful and prejudiced. Like walking up to a Chinese American and going "Ching Chong Ping Pong". It's fucking racist retards. Maybe Oprah would get it if someone went up to her and imitated the Kung! language with clicking and such. Honestly!
um, EXACTLY. She ONLY knows english so why bother trying to say something she doesn't know how to say using english letters that don't sound like japanese whatsoever?
Oprah should be SMART enough to know that what she says on her television show is watched by millions and to watch her mouth.
you are retarded and an idiot, how is it not racist? She's mocking asian people and their language. Saying random shit and saying oh "thats what I said?" oh man wtf
It's basically like me saying for example "Galadsjdks dsfkdsfyuh nohdsfds dead yetedsf'
It's a shame, I expected more from her. Why go the mockery route? In the same amount of time, she could have asked humbly and learned what the product name means.
I'm sure this would've gone over great if someone like Ellen DeGeneres was talking an African product and going, "Oomboogooleh oomboogooleh tik tik AYA KENYAAAA!"
Double standards of racism in America FTW. Get off your fucking high horses.
I am not a fan of Oprah at all! but to be offended by that?! That's just ridiculous. I don't think Oprah did anything wrong or "racist" here. Not to say she hasn't said racist things in the past.
There's a difference between trying to pronounce words and speaking gibberish. Oprah doesn't read or speak Japanese; she wasn't trying to "pronounce" anything because she had nothing to go on.
It's not a big deal, people do much worse all the time, but it's disappointing and annoying all the same.
china, japan, south korea,and many other asian nations, please stop lending usa any more money!(usa borrowed over 1.8 trillion dollars from asia!)your heart warming borrowed money only feeds the belly of asian sterotype! white and blacks depended on asians so much on their daily life and yet never show any gratitude!!!
"so yu ha" or what ever she call is not an language. These remarks are not an accent. These racist interpertation of language is often associated with being delive and mind shaf or other such hate crime fun. an acent is vocal ethictation of speech. Being asian american most asians faces these *ucked up racist comment everyday, I mean every day!!
And not ALL blacks(my third reply, replyt to the third one, XD) Are stereo typical(I;m living in the u.S) And if U.S.A. Goes down, i'll ALWAYS remebr you as a reason why it did. And oprah is ugly, she cant pronounce japanesse. The tezt is differnt. So that makes oprah a stereo typical noob XD
what's so wrong about trying to pronouce asian words? she couldn't read it, so she read it like how she think it was. she wasn't right, but how does that make her "racist"? it was for a split second and she didnt keep going. why must everything be negative and blown out of proportion?
lol oprah, u so funnah. oprah is rubbish. the topics are ridiculous. its all fluff. who the #$@# cares what toothpaste russle crow uses. or the best way to have an inexpensive holiday. tyra banks show is better that this.
