Tommy Hilfiger Don't want asians and black people wear his design?

I hope he didn't say something like that.. That is a terrible statement and if it's true I won't ever wear anything with his name on it again - I don't own anything with his name on it anyway! I am not black or asian, but I would not wear the clothing designed by someone with that attitude.

Yeah, I've also heard about that. I don't really know if it's true but it still affected me a lot when Filipinos were specifically referred to. I haven't bought any item brandishing his name. Well, I don't really like his products anyway. Io be honest, I got a bit disappointed when after that news broke out, there were still Filipinos patronizing his products. How patriotic can some people get.

I remember hearing this rumor many years ago. I didn't particularly care about it since I wasn't a Tommy Hilfiger fan to begin with but my friends were really offended by the Asian comment. They decided to boycott his stuff and I don't think they ever went back to it. I was a bit surprised to see this post though since it is old news and I didn't think people still remembered it.

He was interviewed many years ago and said this. When sales started to drop because his clothes were bought by a lot of black people that heard him on the interview, he apologized and backpedaled as if to say he was misunderstood, but what he said was pretty clear. He is racist and I don't buy his stuff at all.

Well, thanks GOD I didn't wear of that men handsmade or design. I hate the racism peoples, look like He was the best creatures in this world. Hope GOD will give what He should get if He really2 said that. What is look like being the third peoples in the third world.

Hi insulin: I have read this rumpur from an email. I have tried to find a video where Mr. Hilfiger was saying this but I haven't found it so I think it must be false. I can't believe this mand that need black people and asians would say this so it must be a negative rumour against him and his company. He needs the money so I don't think he'd say these racists comments even if he'd be racist (I'm not saying he's one, I just don't know) because he'd lose a lot of money. ALVARO

I've never heard this before. I wear his clothes sometimes but not always it's too expensive. But of course many people of different races are gonna wear a name brand clothing that is popular, why wouldn't they? He shouldn't be races like that. But I hope this isn't true because if it is then he will not make much money off his clothing and many people will hate on him i'm sure.

I am not sure if this is true or not. There are a lot of rumors going around about a lot of different things at any given time that your eally just don't know what to believe as the truth and what to think of as a lie. I would hafta say if this is true then I would definitely be asking people who are not asian and black to boycott the brand and not buy at all. If NO ONE buys he'll change his attitude for sure.

Sadly this sort of rumour tends to float in and out of internet headlines every so often. I doubt whether Mr Hilfiger gives a hoot who wears his designs as long as people buy them. Tommy Hilfiger is in the business of making money and is unlikely to make a rascist statement that would alienate many customers. I do not think this story has much credibility to be honest.

I have heard about this some time ago, and I will never buy any of his clothing. I only had one shirt from him that someone gave me, but I couldn't wear it because it was too small. He only designs clothes for those with skinny model figures anyway. I am glad that I cannot fit into his clothes. Even if I could, I wouldn't throw money his way for it. He wants to blow entire races, but yet, most of his clothes are made overseas. Screw him.

Perhaps it is not true because there are nothing said on print or television about it .In case that it is true, it is not my loss if I don't buy his products

Wow! Doesn't anybody read the existing responses before posting their own comments? This is false. It is a hoax. It is an urban legend. NOT TRUE! I already posted the Snopes link. Here it is again for anyone who missed it back at #4. Snopes - FALSE: www.snopes.com/racial/business/hilfiger.asp Mail this to everyone you know.

God,if this is a true roumour then this is a very racist comment and i have a dissapointing effect on my soul.why did he not s state when he started the clothing line since those he was to segregate have so far contributed too its growth by buying the lines mecherdise.

God if the rumour is true then this is economic racism of which am disapointed.

I don't think this is true. Mainly because he's making money, he doesn't care who wears them as long as they are willing to pay up to 80 bucks for a buttoned up shirt. With the economy like it is, he really doesn't care. I mean really, it would be bad business he really acted that way. On the Tommy Hilfiger website, he has beautiful black women as models for his clothing. Hope this helps.

Don't believe everything you hear. They'll get you everytime! This one has been floating around since 2000. Snopes - FALSE: www.snopes.com/racial/business/hilfiger.asp
