Oprah "Ignorant"???
Well it looks like Oprah is not getting much love as she once was. Oprah is now under fire for her latest TV special called “The Next Chapter” where she made a trip to India. Though the special was aired in the USA in April, it was just recently aired in India which is where she’s receiving a lot of back lash from. Oprah was called out for stereotyping the people of India calling out things such as them eating with their hands which is a common cultural practice, and commenting on the size of an Indian family’s house. Some critics bashed her calling Oprah “ignorant and gauche”. In a statement, a rep for Winfrey's production company, HARPO, told E! News: "The intention of the program was to explore the beautiful culture and spirit of the country. We enjoyed the time we spent there and were touched by the people who so generously shared their stories for the show." What do you think? hmmm....
