Not only that, it is womens day and she deserves high respect for battling the sexism and racism to be the media giant and successful woman she is. I could go on. | |||

It's such a shame that there's such a prevalence of horrible comments surrounding a woman and her curls, even in this day and age.

A family member is in a mixed race relationship, they have two children one a light skinned, blond the other a very dark skinned, brunette. People ask, in front of the children if they have different fathers of it one of them is adopted. Is this racism or plain ignorant and rude stupidity? Would the same people ask a white European couple whose children had different hair colour and skin tone the same questions? | |||

"Just an observation but Opra didnt question Harry about his wearing of a nazi uniform...or the racists comments he made whilst in the army about a Pakistani comrade? Perhaps he is the racist in the family?? probably because its decade old news? But Harry has had his moments as a racist..just trying to balance things out. He made mistakes...perhaps the colour of baby was a silly mistake but its appearing to make it out as racist..rather than innappropriate. You make a good point. A family member is in a mixed race relationship, they have two children one a light skinned, blond the other a very dark skinned, brunette. People ask, in front of the children if they have different fathers of it one of them is adopted. Is this racism or plain ignorant and rude stupidity? Would the same people ask a white European couple whose children had different hair colour and skin tone the same questions?" Probably, people are always questioning others legitimacy. Look at Harry. His parentage has been questioned once or twice. | |||

My mam got asked a lot if me and my sister had the same father or if we were adopted as I'm ginger and she's blonde. This was in the early 80's so you'd think this wouldn't be a question in this day in age. But my eldest is ginger, brown eyes and my youngest is blonde and blue eyes and the exact same questions have been asked about their parenthood. | |||

"Ok so I won’t say it was Ian Wright in a wig cuz I’ll get branded ... so I’ll give my honest opinion... it looked fucking awful ... no doubt the thought police will label me one way or another for giving my honest opinion... I didn't like her hairstyle either. I don't have to as she didn't seek my approval or give two fucks what anyone thinks. I don't even find the comment racist. I just find comments like "Serena Williams looks like Didier Drogba in a dress" and "Rebecca Addington would win gold with her unfair advantage of looking like a dolphin" nasty. Exactly. It's just so bloody patronising and rude too. I often wonder what these people would say about me behind my back. Which man in a wig I look like." I have one ear biggger than the other, so Oprah might say I look like Harry’s step dad in a suit | |||

I agrer with your comments. Also there is a section of society ...and this is only an example who get offended if another race uses anything from another race. For instance some object to white women having dreadlock or certain styles of platted hair. Now Opras hair is very much a European style...no one is having a go at her for approapriation of another races hair. I think that is quite right and if we are to embrace others cultures we should be flatteted for ANYone to use anything from their heritage..however this sometimes is not reciprocal.

"Is this still going on? Personally I find it a little odd that people are more inclined to discuss Oprah’s hair than the content of the interview. I feel that it’s becoming a bit endemic how everything is up for grabs as a conversation point and actually detracts from the purpose of what’s being said. Almost like it is used to undermine the substance and credibility of the person. If you don’t like her hair, that’s fine, you don’t have to have it like that, she chose to, that’s her prerogative. The fact that it’s being used to undermine her in the ways seen above are definitely misogynistic in their tones. " I don't care about the interview because I'm not a royal watcher | |||
